Summary/Abstract: After the Great Union of the Romanians on 1 December 1918 in Alba-Iulia, the Diocese of Vad, Feleac and Cluj was re-established by Royal Decree no. 3235 of 18 July 1921. On the basis of this decree, Metropolitan Nicolae Bălan (1882-1955) convened an Eparchial Synod on 15/28 September 1921 to elect a bishop for Cluj. The first bishop of the Romanian Orthodox Diocese of Vad, Feleac and Cluj was Bishop Nicolae Ivan, known by his contemporaries as a hard-working and devoted hierarch of the Church and the people”.
