The objective of the research. The article presents the results of studies that comprised 179 people belonging to three groups, distinguished on the grounds of the religiousness level. The main objective of the research was an identification of the differences between these groups, in terms of both particular dimensions of wisdom and its general indicator. The first group was created from the members of the Families Covenant Community “Mamre” (n=55). The second group consisted of people not belonging to any religious movement, but characterized by high religiosity (n=60). The third group was formed from the respondents who do not belong to any religious movement and are characterized by their low religiosity level. The methods. In this research project, the following methods were applied: (1) Three – dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) by M. Ardelt in the Polish adaptation by S. Steuden, P. Brudek and P. Izdebski; (2) Scale of Religious System of Meanings (SRSZ ) by D. Krok; Personal Data Sheet. The results. The analysed groups differed between themselves in terms of all three dimensions of wisdom and its global indicator. Crucial statistical differences were noted between the members of The “Mamre” Community and religious people not connected
with any religious movement, and people of low level of religiosity and not bound up with any religious community. The conclusions. The received results may be a valuable help for priests and leaders of The Families Covenant Community “Mamre” in terms of specifying the characteristics and directions of formative influences towards people declaring the
will of joining the Community.
