This text addresses the issue of education in the spirit of educational dialogue. The aim of the study was to recall and introduce the richness of dialogue according to the concept of Fr. Janusz Tarnowski, which is an expansion of his concept of Christian personal-existential pedagogy, and to demonstrate that such a dialogue can be an inspiration for contemporary educators. Educational dialogue, understood by Fr. Janusz Tarnowski as a method, process, and attitude, supports other pedagogical methods, as long as they focus on the pupil, without overly emphasising his individualism, where the common good disappears, and personal life is threatened. The study contains an analysis of selected factors influencing the implementation of dialogue by the educator, such as: the educator’s attitude towards education, the educator’s approach to dialogue, the educator’s communicative culture/communicative competences, and the emotional climate preferred by the educator. This analysis was conducted against the backdrop of the concept of Fr. Tarnowski, because his views on education and the educator are appropriate to the chosen factors. Based on this, it was concluded that despite the passage of time and the changes that have taken place in the Polish school in recent years, the pedagogy of dialogue of Fr. Janusz Tarnowski’s work can still be a valuable source of inspiration for contemporary teachers and educators in implementing dialogue in the school environment. Currently, with the end of pedagogy that uncritically emphasises the leading role of the educator, fulfilling the principle that education is primarily about the human-to-human relationship becomes the meaning of “human-face” pedagogy, rooted in Christian foundations and expressed in authentic dialogue.
