DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

The article refers to the topics discuss within the conference organized by the Archbishopric of Bucharest, after the incidents that occur in Italy at the end of 2007. The main topic of discussion was the Biblical mission in a world in continues change (migration). The conference was moderated by the Patriarchal of the Romanian Orthodox Church and the vicar of the Metropolitan of Moldavia and Bucovina. One of the problems encountered between the Romanian from abroad refers to the mix marriages and divorce. The main conclusion was that the church must develop new integration measures of the orthodox families in the present ecumenical context. Some of the solutions identified by the Romanian priests refer to the promotion of responsibility and the cultivation of the spirit of collaboration between the clerics; the support of the Romanian citizens in maintaining the religious and national identity, especially of those citizens from EU states; the increase of the religious, cultural, social and national missions through radio and television in order to conserve the identity of Romanians from all over the world.

In addition to this, the representatives of the church concluded that is necessary to guide the Romanians from abroad in order to avoid some crimes that could compromise the Romanian name. One of the identified solutions refers to the organization of Sunday church and grant-aided schools in the Romanian language.
