The Romanian Delegations to the Holy Pan-Orthodox Synod of Crete (2016) and to Its preliminary Assemblies and Their Importance for Theological Discussions

Summary/Abstract: In this research, the author presents the composition of the Romanian Delegations to the most important Pan-Orthodox assemblies, starting from the one that took place in Constantinople in 1923 and until the Pan-Orthodox Synod of Crete. The purpose of this prosopographical study is to show that the Romanian Orthodox Church has always treated with seriousness and responsibility these meetings, entrusting the mission of its representation to personalities belonging to the fi rst rank of theology and church life such as Reverend Iuliu Scriban, Metropolitan Antonie Plămădeală, Patriarch Justin Moisescu, Metropolitan Nifon Mihăiţă, His Grace Visarion Bălţat of Tulcea, or Rev. Viorel Ioniţă, and always wanted to contribute to the proper functioning of inter-Orthodox relations and the good of the church life, but without betraying any faith.
