The vision of the Sociological School of Bucharest on the Church and the national State. The social service law

Summary/Abstract: The Social Service Law was introduced on October 18th 1938 under the dictatorship of King Charles II. It established that cultural work performed in villages was mandatory for university students. Dimitrie Gusti and his collaborators, sociologists Henri H. Stahl and Octavian Neamtu, elaborated the Social Service Law, according to which it was compulsory for all the graduates to perform three months of cultural work in villages. The Cultural Community Center was the local institution where the royal student teams conducted their activity led by Gusti‟s sociologists. After 1938, through the Social Service Law, orthodox religion became part of the educative and cultural work of each Cultural Community Center. By applying the representative bibliography method upon the scientific activity of the members of Gusti‟s School during 1938-1939, I have identified the role that the Church played in the Sociological School of Bucharest endeavor to build the National State.
