The Church eases and promotes sincere communication and sincere love between the human beings, between the human races and, in general, between human societies; the Eucharist's sacrament reminds it to the Christians. If sometimes, the Church has been promoting social barriers, as it was the case in India and in Judea, the Church has often been a strong factor of social mixing throughout human history.    Christianity, for example, born of Judaism, advocating a unique god for all humans, is one of the many Churches that has brought down the racial and cultural hindrances between human beings. It is now practiced on all the continents and worshiped by all human races.

   It is unfortunate that the expansion of Christianity has often been facilitated by the invading Occidental armies and by the white people's colonisation of non-white people, together with its concommitant slavery and genocides and, finally, the predominance of a supreme but culturocentral 'god.' However, Christianity marked a turning point in the history of religions and of human relations by looking for worshipers in all the human races, all the human societies and all the social strata, as I told before. As a subset of Christianity, the Church of the Jehovah Witnesses has built up a powerful network of social communication. Besides Cristianity, Muslim is also one of the the most integrationist set of Churches.

   Christianity, nowadays indeed, the most powerful set of Churches throughout the world, has many faces. A recent form, the Church of the Jehovah Witnesses, soares vigourously in a new era, the one that distinguished the revolution of communication from the industrial revolution. In the religous organization of the Jehovah witnesses, are linked all the components of a good communication network: the input, the throughput, the output and the feedback . This latter happens mostly during the theocratic ministry class. The reviews Awake and Watch Tower are strong instruments of the output. In Awake, sientific data often fill the input The Church of Jehovah witnesses, being at the vanguard of the science of communication, relative to other Churches, teaches us, in a practical ways, how we can draw new lessons from old biblical texts. In the catholic Church a huge litterature constitutes the output. In the book called Catholic Social Thoughts , the Church exposes its ideas and its norms on many today social problems. The encyclic Rerum Novarum (On the New Social Order) , for ex., gives the position of the Church on the effects of unemployment, on the relations between the "have" and the "do not have and how we should treat our social neighbour. Under the heading of Dei Verbum (Thus Spoke God), the catholic Church stresses that the Bible does not contradict science, but is written in a poetic form that conveys well the feelings and the thought of God for his gentle creatures:
"...The Bible was not written in order to teach" natural hitory and any science,"... nor to give information on merely political issues. It treats of these [and all other subjects] only insofar as they are involved in matters concerning salvation. it is only in this respect that the veracity of God and the inerrancy of the inspired writers are engaged."

   In all religions, are found some myths. They play an important role in conveying the divine message and in the unity of the Church they are related to (they must be respected). Such examples are the Trinity, the Earthly Paradise and the Immaculate Conception in most of the Christian Churches.
   In Sociology: Annoted Instructor Manual of K. C. Kammeyer et al., in the chapter on religions, the myths¹ are considered as strong and important elements in the culture of a social group because of their power at uniting, in a spiritual communion, all the worshipers. we will see, for example, how the Immaculate Conception myth advocates the virtue of chastity. Christmas itself is half-myth, half-history.
   In some oriental religions there are myths on reincarnation of the human body, and in the muslim world there is a myth on how salvation can be attained.

Notes:

¹ Inside the Church what is myth for outsiders is mystery for the worshipers. Some mysteries like the Trinity of God and the Incarnation of Christ are, for the Christians, stated as dogmas of the Church and are partaked by almost all the subdivisions of that set. In general, the myth has a human connotation while the mystery is a divine realization.
