Summary/Abstract: The religious life of Albania in last hundred years went through many phase of ups and downs. This fate shared and the Orthodox Church. She led not only to fight for survival within the dominant ideology of the state, but also to the integrity of Parliament within the local Orthodox Churches. Unfortunately, just two years before the beginning of the Second World War, she was awarded the rank Archdiocese. By establishing a new, communist ideology, Albanian Orthodox Church faces with another persecution, this time induced inside. Four decades of destruction will not completely destroy spiritual thread and 1990, with the opening of the state comes to the revival of religious life, and the Orthodox Church will rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. Today, role of the Albanian Orthodox Church goes beyond spiritual responsibilities, it already figured as a prominent factor of international cooperation and dialogue.
