Theoretical background: Consumers today are presented with a myriad of opportunities through the purchase process can be realized (Yrjölä et al., 2018, p. 1133). Customer journey can be defined as a buyer’s behaviour in multi (omni) environment with the goal of finalizing purchase transactions and acquiring positive (seamless, holistic) customer experiences. Researchers look at a service buying process as the customer value-adding journey (Saghiri et al. 2017; Wilding, 2003) and its prime objective is to deliver positive customer experience at each of stages of buying process. According to media richness theory (MRT) voice-based communication is ranked higher than text-based communication along the media richness continuum (Daft & Lengel, 1984), however some additional findings have been also exposed. Taking into account the traditional continuum of media richness phone communications is perceived as rich in information, only face to face contact is seen as richer (Suh, 1999). As is stated in Rhee (2010), customer-initiated communications via phone channel is preferred when consumer faces an extended problem-solving (high perceived risk/low familiarity). Whereas, in case of routine problem-solving situation online channel is preferred. However, some relevant research on marketing channel richness have been proposed by Kwak (2012) as well as Lipowski and Bondos (2018). According to this research stream, the medium itself does not necessarily determine its perceived media richness. The key factor is user’s familiarity with a particular marketing channel and his/her ability to use its communicational potential.Purpose of the article: The present study attempts to provide evidence about the potential of the phone channel as the channel of contact with the service provider through the entire service buying process including four stages: pre-purchase, purchase, post-purchase and resignation from service. The main goal of the study is to identify the level of customers’ experience/knowledge of using phone channel by the three consumer generations (Baby Boomers, X and Y).Research methods: The survey study was conducted in September-November 2015 on a group of 1103 respondents (Polish adult consumers) including 357 (BB), 390 (X) and 356 (Y). The research sample was determined by quota-random method; CAPI (computer assisted personal interview) method was used with a standardized questionnaire. In order to verify research hypothesis MANOVA was used with data on three customer generations.Main findings: BB generation possesses the smallest experience in phone communication in the service buying process. The next one is the X generation with bigger phone communication experience than BB but lower than Y generation. At each stage in service purchasing process Y generation is the most knowledgeable in the area of phone communication. In general, there is a visible downward trend of the own experience level along with further stages in the service purchasing process. In terms of phone communication the most mysterious for customers is the last phase.

Following changes in law that have taken place even in the last years of the Church's existence one certainly cannot say that it is fossilized. On one hand it listens to the needs, problems and life of the community of Faithful and on the other to the Revelation. It takes into account the achievements and development of theological, biblical, patristic and anthropological science. It is constantly changing.Are these changes well enough characterized by the term "renewal"?Given the nature of canon law as well as the objectives pursued by the Legislator in correcting/changing the law it seems that we can say that in most cases the Legislator changing the law also renewed it.The Church as the Legislator always has its eyes on Jesus and the Revelation that he gave to the Church. It is no wonder that all changes in the law are directly or indirectly guided by one main goal which is the salvation of man. This principle is superior in canon law to this day. Revelation is the foundation of the law and a framework of all the changes taking place in it.As the community of the Church is subjected to historical determinants therefore the law governing community life of the Church is also a subject of historical determinants.Readiness to take into account progress and changes in theological, anthropological, biblical, patristic and legal sciences shows that the Legislator is not only changing the law but also renews it.
