Summary/Abstract: The public recognition of the Romanian Brethren Assemblies as being an official Cult rested in the balance of freedom. As an historic arch over time, both recognitions took place under two Governments lead by the same man, Petru Groza, in the time of two very different postbellum regimes. The first recognition was approved by a pro communism Government, in the last years of the Monarchy, where there existed some forms of liberty, whereas the second one was by a completely and eminently Communist Government in the beginning of the Romanian Stalinism, supervised by a careful control of the State. The analysis of the two official documents, in the background of the years that were issued in, offer an interesting perspective over the Religious freedom from the point of view of one Denomination that has been through the process of the institutional recognition, twice in just a period of four years.
