Urgency of the research. The article is devoted to the essential characteristics of distance education as a modern educational technology. Distance education is considered as a mobile individualized technology for acquiring knowledge.
Target setting. The article has the aim to update the worldview principles of the modern philosophy of education, identify the main shortcomings and risks of the transition to total distance education.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Problems of introduction of distance learning technologies in foreign countries, in particular prospects of development of distance education, were investigated by J. Anderson, V. Wheeler, T. Edward, R. Kling, A. Trindade. In domestic works of scientists the problems of distance education are devoted to the works of L.Vasilieva, V. Voronkova, I. Kuzmina, A. Kuzminsky, N. Savitskaya, N. Ushakova. However, in these works, the authors pay little attention to the systemic risks and shortcomings of distance education.
The research objective. The purpose of this scientific article is to analyze the possibilities of distance learning, prospects and risks of implementing distance education.
The statement of basic material. The article considers some psychological, pedagogical and technical aspects of the introduction of distance learning. It is emphasized that the main purpose of creating a system of distance education is to ensure free access to educational resources through the use of modern information technologies and social networks and to create conditions for citizens to exercise their rights to education. The main disadvantages of distance education are depersonalization, lack of proper motivation of participants in the educational process, loss of educational and socialization functions of education, hyperbolization of independent work, low level of control over the educational process.
Conclusions. It is established that in the Ukrainian educational realities distance learning turned out to be an incapable technology of providing quality education. Most educational institutions are not prepared for the introduction of distance learning based on the use of electronic format: there are technical problems in providing access to remote resources; incompetence of teachers in the organization of distance education; low level of motivation of participants in the educational process.
Key words: distance education, distance learning, megatrend, neo-barbarism, knowledge society.

Urgency of the research. The destruction of social ideals that dominated in the past has highlighted the problem of rethinking the social role of the Christian Church. Its consideration in the secular and religious spheres is determined both by the worldview crisis and by the search for reliable foundations of the social ideal for integration and determination of possible ways of spiritual and moral development of modern society.
Target setting. The topic of the Church's participation in the formation of social ideals in today's world, as in previous centuries, remains no less controversial. Against the background of various theological, religious and popular science publications devoted to its activities, there is a lack of thorough research of Christian thought in understanding the holistic under-standing of the educational mission of the Church.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. It is important for research the works of modern authors who rethink Christian missiology in accordance with evangelical traditions and the search for its new enlightenment perspectives in today's society. The works of V. Bondarenko, A. Kyslyi, S. Sannikov, R. Soloviy, V. Khromets, M. Cherenkov, and Y. Chornomorets are valuable for domestic religious studies.
The research objective. The purpose of the study is to analyze the social service and educational mission of the Church in modern society, as well as their impact on the formation of the value foundations of the social ideal.
The statement of basic materials. The Church, having a rich experience of work in the social environment, tries not only to serve humanity, realizing its vocation, but also to fulfill the educational mission, which is unique in meaning, content and forms of expression. The gradual development of modern theological thought and religious philosophy is influenced by the understanding of the Church's involvement in the current priorities of social life as a certain spiritual and moral arbiter. The complexity of the question of the influence of Christianity on the formation of the value bases of the social ideal lies in the confessional features of the positioning of churches in a globalized world.
Conclusions. The public service and educational mission of the Church are associated with changes in the social situation and the constant search for new ways to establish dialogue with parishioners and the secular sphere. Christianity, possessing a powerful arsenal of truths, focuses its mission on the spiritual and moral healing of people and social life, determining the values of the social ideal.
Keywords: social service, mission, educational mission of the Church, social ideal, theological education, modern Christian thought.

Urgency of the research. The formal recognition of theology as a science and academic discipline, carried out by Ukrainian legislators in 2014, has actualized discussions about the status of theology. Although theologians consider the establishment of their discipline in the circle of scientific discourse to be a settled matter, the scientific community is cautious about the claims of theology to its voice within science and education. In this regard, the question of the theoretical foundations of theologians' claims about their place in the sciences and the function of theology in relation to philosophy, humanities and natural sciences becomes important.
Target setting. Analysis of the claims of theology to the status of meta-science in relation to philosophy and all specific sciences of the humanities and natural sciences allows us to consider objectively, without resorting to ideological clichés, the peculiarities of self-justification by theology as a science, educational discipline and worldview. A critical factor in discussions about the status of theology is the recognition of the analogy between philosophy and theology as worldview sciences. It is this analogy that makes it possible to explain what the ideal status of theology as a science and educational discipline should be.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The question of the development of theology by analogy with philosophy is considered mainly on the basis of Catholic theology. Only in recent years have a number of Ukrainian philosophers begun to study the paradigm shift in the history of theology and its current state by analogy with well-studied processes in philosophy. Also in recent years, the analysis of the claims of Ukrainian and foreign theologians to the status of meta-science has begun on the basis of Orthodox theology. Of particular importance for the methodology of our study in this aspect are the works of philosophers Y. Chornomorets, G. Khrystokin, V. Hrytsyshyn, theologians J. Milbank and D. Hart.
The research objective. The aim of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the claims of theology to the status of meta-science and universal discourse. This analysis allows us to clarify the essence of the claims of theology for a special place in the scientific and scientific-educational space, and to contextualize these claims to the Ukrainian conditions.
The statement of basic materials. The article shows a significant similarity of the claims of philosophy and theology to the status of meta-science and universal philosophical discourse. Historically, these claims relate to the doctrine of a special intuitive cognition, but today they are manifested in an attempt to answer the main ideological questions of the individual. It is proved that the claims of theology to the status of meta-science are less substantiated than in philosophy, since theology cannot provide methodology for specific sciences, cannot, without the mediation of philosophy, evaluate scientific theories. Also, the theologian is not free in his own reflections, even if he exhibits creative spontaneity, because it must necessarily be rooted in a certain tradition. Utopian are the hopes of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant theologians that theology with the end of the modern era can again qualify for the status of meta-science and evaluate the achievements of all sciences, especially humanitarian ones.
Conclusions. The analysis allows us to state that theology in its claim to the status of meta-science and universal discourse in all respects follows philosophy. The dependence of theological concepts on philosophical ones is especially evident in the fact that theology does not offer its own view of the scientific worldview, but depends entirely on philosophy. There is also no "theology of science", although there is a philosophy of science. The claims of philosophy to the role of a special worldview are based on the independence of thought, while the independent activity of the theologian as a religious subject is always limited by its dependence on particular religious traditions.
Keywords: spiritual education, theology as a science, theology as a worldview discipline, theology and philosophy, theology and scientific worldview.
