Summary/Abstract: How the prayer and the work of the Church was seen at the beginning of the XX century by the great researcher and teacher Simeon Mehedinți, the one that said “the value of one people, and also of every human in part, can be measured by how much one understood from the Gospels and how much he can follow Christ” and which were the experiences that led him to this conclusion? Which were the role and the place of the Church among the public institutions from Simeon Mehedinți point of view, who considered Christianity “the safest background for both individual and national progress”? Which are the differences between Catholics, other nations of Cristian-orthodox and Romanian Orthodoxy, “the one that do not know the narrow sight of pharisees” and whose beliefs are “appropriate for a healthy man, who enjoys the gifts of life (which is far from both the intolerance and decadence of other peoples)”? This study presents Simeon Mehedinți vision upon prayer and identifies, compares and makes an analyses of Romanian Christian orthodoxy traits, considering other Christian peoples and other religions.
