Summary/Abstract: During the first two centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire Western Europe supported and elicited the emergence of new adjacent organizations. Up until the twentieth century Orthodoxy was seen as a foreign religious and spiritual practice. The contact between it and the Western culture, fostered within various Diasporas (e.g. Romanian, Greek, Russian) represents a spiritual event with one of the most far-reaching impacts in the nineteenth century. Cultivating the unity of faith and nation, the Orthodox Church supported the great historical events that had as their goal the national unity of the Romanians: the Unity of the Principalities (1859), Romania's independence (1877-1878) and the Great Union of 1918.
