The problem of intercultural communication is of particular relevance to the citizens of the Russian Federation in order to strengthen cooperation and achieve effective interaction between representatives of different cultures and faiths. To this end, the willingness of university students to foreign language communication, which, being a part of spiritual culture, is especially relevant, and is associated not only with the relaying of the system of theological knowledge, including the traditional spiritual values of society and mankind, with theological education and science, religious culture and philosophy, but also with the sphere of interstate confessional and social relations. Participation in international meetings, scientific and practical conferences, symposia, interreligious forums, pilgrimage tours requires a graduate of the university to be able to establish contacts with foreign representatives, readiness and abilities for foreign-language communication in the professional sphere.
