Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author brings into discussion the Romanian phenomenon of migration, often described as ‘the Romanian Exodus’ due to the impressive numbers of Romanians who emigrated to the West (especially to Western Europe). His aim is to bring a theological dimension to the sociological discussion. He argues for the need of ‘local’ or ‘contextualized’ Romanian theologies that could meet the current social events experienced by Romanian people. He believes that the Romanian Exodus could be a starting point in developing such theologies.
