RELIGIOUS COMMUNICATION AS A MEANS OF FORMING AND REALIZING RELIGIOUS RELATIONS

Abstract

This article examines the substantive characteristics of the term “communication”. It is noted that religious communication is primarily an interaction between communicators to obtain certain information or, on the other hand, to persuade another. The article notes that for communication to take place, two, sometimes three, communicators are needed. The article identifies the main features of religious communication and its functions, and defines its effectiveness criteria. The study announces a number of recommendations that can improve it and lists cautions that should be followed, since religious communication is multidenominational and there are a number of taboos in the use of various religious terms.
