SERBIAN ORTHODOX BISHOP OF TIMIȘOARA DR GEORGIJE LETIĆ (1904-1935) AND HIS CULTURAL CONTRIBUTION TO SERBS IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: Bishop of Timișoara dr Georgije Letić (⁎1872†1935) was one of the most prominent dignitaries of our Serbian Orthodox Church of his time. He marked his era as a respectable hierarch, man of letters, a good and skilled organizer of church life in the dioceses that have been permanently or temporarily entrusted to him. Bishop dr Georgije Letić led the Diocese of Timișoara for many years, between 1904-1931 as a diocese bishop, and between 1931-1935 as administrator. The change of state administration (Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Kingdom of Romania - Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) over Banat (which was later split between Romania and Yugoslavia), as well as the difficult and irregular times during the First World War left heavy marks on the entire territory of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Timișoara, as well as consequences on the life of the Serbian Church in Romania. Bishop dr Georgije managed, as a skilled organizer, despite of current conditions, not only to successfully organize the diocesan life, but also to build new foundations for the upcoming generations.
