Summary/Abstract: In his article the author points at a triple context in which preaching takes place and to which a special attention should therefore be drawn. In the process of preaching an important role is played by a social-and-ecclesial as well as media environment, personal factors of a preacher and an attitude of listeners to whom preaching is addressed. When it comes to issues affecting environment, the author analyses opinions obtained while diagnosing a cultural heritage, impact of mass-media on language as well as internal Church aspects. A preacher should, according to the author, have the following skills: ability of a matter-of-fact attitude towards life problems, ability to deal with methodology issues, richness of personality features, ability to deal with institutional issues. A preacher with the above mentioned skills will be able to come to terms with a temptation of activism, idealising many issues and use of methods based on fear.
