YOUNGERS FOR YOUNGERS: PIER GIORGIO FRASSATI AND VALERIU GAFENCU TWO EXAMPLES OF MISSIONARIES AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES

Summary/Abstract: 2016 was dedicated by the Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church to the education of the young people. In this frame, one may find important to focus on some young characters that, by their endeavour, can indicate a missionary methodology among this segment of people, in particular, one from the western Church, Pier Giorgio Frassati, and another one from the Eastern Church, Valeriu Gafencu, both of them important names in the missionary realm of the last century. This paper aims to focus on two moments – a missionary bio-bibliography of the two characters and the identification of alist of constants as reflected in their missionary activity. Finally, one is interested to identify some general indicators for the missionary activity among contemporary young generation.
