Ioan Teculescu, Manager of Astra Alba Iulia Department at the Service of building the Romanian Nation by Culture (1902-1924)

Summary/Abstract: Ioan Teculescu, denominational elementary teacher, and then the Orthodox curate of Râșnov, was appointed in 1901 by the Orthodox Metropolitan Bishop of Transylvania Ioan Mețianu as protopope of Alba Iulia. In his new position, he remarked both pastorally and missionary, contributing for almost a quarter of a century to building the Romanian nation from Alba de Jos county. He was a cultural manager and the drive of the Romanian consciousness from Alba Iulia and surroundings and also manager of the local structure of the Association: Astra Alba Iulia Department between 1905-1923. We note that every day of his life in Alba Iulia and the Stone Land of the Apuseni Mountains was a mission day that the protopope-manager assumed, both religiously and culturally-nationally. We mention that this study underlines for the audience or reader sequences from his missionary activity, but also presents the general assemblies that he organised and hold as manager of the local office of the Association within this department between 1902 and 1924. Additionally, we notice him coordinating establishment and provide with book holdings the libraries for the nation in the most important communes from the spread area of this local structure of Astra. The study will also tackle the activity related to the Association of those who held lectures for the nation on different communes from the department, carried out educational activity by some elementary teachers or priests from the settlements of this local structure of Astra.
