The article presents the ways of preparation of priests for the work with nonbelievers. The author enumerates the dimensions of the priestly formation: human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral. Human and spiritual formations require deepening of the presbyters’ spirituality as well as the formation of the humanistic attitude which is the basis for establishing and leading a dialogue with non-believers. The implementation of intellectual formation requires studying the contemporary philosophical currents which constitute the basis of the current cultural changes as well as of the social transformations.
