The development of an independent conciliar Ukrainian state and the
related processes of restoring historical memory, awakening of national
consciousness raised the issue of the functioning of the Ukrainian language
in the church, drew public attention to the development of the religious
style of the Ukrainian literary language.
Like any other public structure, church communicates at the internal
religious (confessional) level and at the external - national level. This
leads to the formation and establishment of official-business language
communication, operation of documents that have characteristic linguisticstructural
(lexical, syntactic, textual) features, different from the usual
office work.
The documentation of the activities of religious organizations reflects
the following main stages:
- Establishment of religious organizations: statement, charter of the
religious community, minutes of the general meeting on the adoption of
the statute (regulations) and elections of governing (executive) bodies, a
document confirming the organizational and canonical subordination of
the religious community, etc.
- Staffing: decree.
- Participation in the Sacraments: Certificate of Holy Matrimony,
Certificate of Baptism and Holy Chrismation, Certificate of Ordination.
- Honouring with liturgical and church awards and distinctions.
Priests are rewarded with liturgical awards according to the hierarchy
of promotion. After that, together with the award, the clergy receive an
official document - a Certificate. In addition, there are a number of church
awards. Among them are diplomas, orders, medals, which are conferred to
lay people who work for the good and prosperity of the Orthodox Church.
- Formal business communication for different needs. According to
the classification of S. Honhalo, the documents are divided into:
- by name: orders, instructions,prescriptions, reports, statements, notes,
letters, invitations, etc;
- by place of drafting: internal and external;
- by origin: official and official personal;
- by purpose: originals and copies.
- Confirmation of facts: Reference.
Having identified the genres, structure and functioning of official
business communication in religious discourse and analyzed them,
we can conclude that these documents do not have a high level of
standardization, clear structure and rules of design in accordance with legal
requirements. They need a clear classification of documents of religious
style, the development of requirements for their design, in general – the
standardization and unification of official business texts of religious
discourse.
