Summary/Abstract: On 17 June 2021, the Patriarchal Palace in Bucharest hosted the Meeting of legal counsellors of the eparchies within the Romanian Patriarchate. During this meeting, participants addressed legislative aspects concerning the life of the Church and particular legal issues concerning some of the eparchies in the country. The opening address was delivered by Rev. Fr. Ionuţ Gabriel Corduneanu, Patriarchal administrative vicar, who explained the necessity of this meeting and the importance of the items on its agenda. During the first session were debated issues such as: the (recently republished) Statutory provisions that govern the organization and functioning of the Romanian Orthodox Church; the Regulations of the Romanian Orthodox Church; new legislative provisions on Church life; the national and international jurisprudence concerning religious life and religious freedom; the implementation of synodal decrees concerning various legal issues. During the second session, participants spoke about specific juridical issues of eparchies, which were debated and analyzed, which led to proposals put forth with a view to solving these problems. The legal counsellors’ meeting concluded with a work session of the Association of Orthodox Jurists (AJO), in order to sanction the membership applications, and new members were elected to be part of the management structures of this association, for another four-year tenure.
