Summary/Abstract: The activity of Orthodox missionaries in the newly established dioceses for Romanian emigrants highlights the sustained work of the Romanian Orthodox mission. This activity must become even more dynamic because the spirituality of the Romanian immigrants is slowly and surely assimilated by the culture of the countries where they migrated, because migration policies aim at the economic and cultural integration of migrants in an extended area of security and justice. Orthodox Missiologywill have to resort to novel ways of preaching the gospel of Christ appropriate to the new spiritual space of the Romanian diaspora. To express this missionary process, Orthodox missiology uses the concept ofinculturation.
