Abstract
In the nineties, spirituality has gradually entered helping professions. As a result of this move in the society we witness certain emphasis on cultural competencies and one’s respect to plurality and diversity.
Therefore, sensitivity to spirituality and spiritual sensitivity, as examples of cultural competences, gradually become one of the expected outcomes of curricula in helping professions. This is even truer in study programmes offered by theological faculties for these target groups.
Nevertheless, it seems that contents-oriented education, which deals with spiritual realities of others, does not sufficiently cover the essence of spiritual groundings in personal faith and cannot offer them to the students. Authors of the paper, inspired by growing demand for spiritual and cultural competencies in helping professions, come with further attempt to justify their hope, that it is possible to teach faith.
Namely, that it is possible to teach students to believe also in Theological faculties that are university spaces open to everyone, regardless their experience with religious faith, – as long as it happens in exercising mutual dialogue on the proviso that identities of its parties are clearly expressed.
