Abstract: Today «convergence» as a concept is used in all its lexical senses (foremost as «the same», «rapprochement», «confluence») and can be applicable for description and classification of all processes formed or finding as new actual phenomenon in the modern religious life. The «convergences processes» in modern understanding of this concept it is possible to issue as inherent more than in one of religions and those, that testify to the tendencies of rapprochement of social, doctrines and institutional positions between two or many religions. All, that is known about of common in the different faiths continues to be the subject of discussion and in nowadays. Most «convergences processes» are used in religious studies for many years, but here we are connecting them only with the «acceleration, actualization of social doctrines, actualization of eschatology, rationalization of cult’s practice, growth of inclusivizm, unification of exteriorization, egosintezation, exoteriorization». In spite of the fact that each of them have own essence, they, at first, they are together confirm the actually presence of «convergence» in religious life of our time, and secondly, stimulate existence of each other, influence and correlate between itself.
