Worship Night is described and defined as a religious, music and communication event. The attention is payed predominantly to Worship Night as a communication event while describing five ways of dialogization: a dialogue of active and passive participants, a dialogue of active participants, a dialogue of verbal and non-verbal musical code, a dialogue of secular and sacral participants, a dialogue with a different type of text.
