On November 5 and 6, 2018, an International Symposium took place at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology of the Babes Bolyai University in Cluj at the occasion of the centenary of the Act of Union of Romania. Topic of the symposium was “Unity and identity. The Orthodoxy of the Romanians between the Eastern Communion and the Dialogue with the Western World!.

Prof. Astrid Kaptijn gave a talk with the title: “Identity and Dialogue. A Catholic Perspective on Missions and Parishes in Diaspora”.

Prof. Viorel Ioniţa and Patriciu Vlaicu also were among the speakers. The symposium equally offered an occasion to strengthen the contacts that have been established already, especially those within the framework of the Swiss European Mobility Program Agreement which has been signed in July 2018 between the Faculty of Theology of the University of Fribourg and the four theological Faculties of UBB. And last but not least, it allowed to meet one of the members of our Center, the iconographer Gabriel Solomon.
