Diaspora ortodoxă română - reflex al misiunii Bisericii
The Romanian Orthodox Diaspora—A Reflection of the Church’s Mission

Summary/Abstract: The mission of the Church in the Romanian diaspora abroad began centuries ago at the micro level and has intensified in recent years, becoming a matter of general concern for theologians and clerics. Taking into account the extension of the missionary work of the local Churches in the diaspora, it will be noticed that it intensified in the last 25 years, due, first of all, to the migration of the faithful from their native countries to Western countries. The migration of Romanians, which was low during the 18th and 19th centuries, became more intense in the 20th century and notably high at the beginning of the 21st century, prompting the Romanian Orthodox Church to follow its children to the places they live and work, thus creating, in a short time, many parishes. This motherly and spiritual care for the members of the Body of Christ makes the diaspora a missionary land of great importance for the whole Orthodox Church.
