Summary/Abstract: The Romanian Orthodox Church between 1990-2000. After the Revolution from December 1989 many important changes took place both in the Romanian society and in the life of the Romanian Orthodox Church. In the new "democracy" it was possible both the re-establishment of some Eparcies, which were abusively destroyed by the communists after 1948 and the creation of some new Eparcies. But, at the same time, in the years that followed the mentioned Revolution, new hierarchs were named; a great part of them followed post university studies (or doctorates) in the foreign countries or had a rich experience in the framework of our Church. In order to face the actual needs of the Church, the theological seminaries and university education was reorganized on new terms, the number of the Orthodox Theological Seminaires grew from six to thirty-eight, and the number of the Theological institutions, that is of the Theological Faculties grew from two to fifteen.
