Relație și dialog între Biserica Ortodoxă Română și Biserica Ortodoxă de Rit Vechi din România
Relationship and Dialogue between the Romanian Orthodox Church and the Lipovan Orthodox Old-Rite Church in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The relationship between the Romanian Orthodox Church and the other Romanian cults is based on dialogue and the collaboration on different social projects. With respect to the connection between our Church and the Old Rite Orthodox Church we might say that it began to exist since the XVIIIth century, when the first communities of old believers settled in our country. In this study, we want to offer a radiography of the relationship and dialogue mentioned above, starting with the first and onlybook about Lipovans found in the Romanian Theology, written by Archbishop Melchisedec Stefanescu, and continuing with the establishment of the old style theology class, and ending with itsinvolvement in keeping religion in the school curricula. Our research is meant to reveal that the two Churches have always had a positive dialogue which hopefully may become more productive in the future.
