The deepening of a constructive dialogue between theology and secular science, development of new research collaboration, preparation of teaching aids, textbooks, education and training concepts, which, on the one hand would take into account the Christian tradition, and on the other trends of modern science, is necessary. Teachers of the Christian pedagogy constantly seek new ways to know the truth, to find the keys to the hearts and minds of students. An effective national system of higher education is not only important, it is a key focus of the university, and the most important resource tool for development sacred mission of modern education. Today the impact of religious content for higher education remains open, and teaching (not teaching) basics of religious knowledge in higher education institutions and its shape depends almost entirely on ideological preferences, and sometimes, unfortunately, on the material interest of the leaders of this or that education institution. The right to free choice of belief must be kept for each as the private affair of the individual. This means that religion should be represented in Ukrainian education not as an ideology but as a part of scientific knowledge about man and society because of their inherent cultural value.

Accordingly, future specialist’s training in terms of higher education should also include formation of spiritual and moral competence.

We believe that the future university lecturer’s personal culture depends on the level of entry into the system of moral knowledge, spiritual and moral beliefs, mastery of knowledge concerning the interpretation and application of ethical standards in the life of the deep values, strong-willed qualities of competence, which will coordinate with law obedient professional activities. Competent Master is a worthy prospect for implementing the proposed formula competency of its main components: knowledge as variability, dynamic, diverse information, which should be able to find and weed out unnecessary, transfer of experience of own activities; ability to use knowledge in a particular situation; understanding how to get the knowledge and for which knowledge which method is right; adequate evaluation ofhimself, the world, his place in the world, particular knowledge or superficial things necessary for his work, as well as methods of obtaining or use. Summarizing the views of scientists and these regulations it’s appropriate to formulate the term “spiritual and moral competence” as an integrative personal quality that manifests itself in readiness for the effective implementation of professional activity on Christian principles – personal quality of man that defines its spiritual and moral behavior and affects the level of performance of some (including professional) activities; willingness to use spiritual and moral knowledge, Christian education and skills, and ways of life to solve practical and theoretical spiritual and moral problems.
