BISHOP OF ŠUMADIJA DR. SAVA (VUKOVIĆ) AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX DIOCESE OF TIMIȘOARA (1980-1996)

Summary/Abstract: Bishop of Šumadija dr. Sava Vuković (⁕1930†2001) is considered one of the most prominent bishops of our Serbian Orthodox Church. He has marked his era as a respected hierarch, a church historian, a literate, a liturgist, as well as an excellent organizer of the church life in the dioceses that were assigned to his lead and care. In the currently available literature on his life and activity there are less details about his work in the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Timișoara, where he acted as bishopadministrator for sixteen full years. This fact inspired us to perform a research on this period of this historical and important Diocese’s existence and on dr. Sava’s work in it. The complex and irregular status of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Timișoara, which lasted from 1919 until the fall of the communist regime in 1989, left a painful mark and a lot of consequences on the life of the Serbian Church in Romania. Being an able diplomat, bishop dr. Sava managed, in those conditions, to properly organize the functioning of the Diocese and set up serios fundations for the upcoming generations. The activity of bishop dr. Sava as administrator of the Diocese of Timișoara between 1980 and 1996 was fruitful on all fields.
