Abstract

As a symbol of a nation’s existence, the church uses various nonverbal methods of communication. Because this dimension belongs to human spiritual life, it is sometimes less conspicuous.

The Church offers us support and a feeling of continuity and cohesion. In the Rupea community we have arguments in favor of this assertion. Key words:
