Correlation of Functional Roles of the Modern Protestant Believer (Ukrainian and Diaspora Context)

Abstract

At present, the position of religion in society is changing dramatically, and so is the status of a believing person. Until recently, as an ideological outcast in a society that was stripped of almost all rights while in the sociocultural underground, the believer became trapped within the confines of religious functionality. In connection with the affirmation of real freedom of conscience, the intensification of the activity of the church in Ukraine, the restoration of its inherent functions, the ability of the believer to fulfill his duties both in the sphere of his religion and in the social ministry increased.
