Patriarch Daniel: Rebuilding Orthodoxy in Romania

Few in the West realize that the second-largest Orthodox Church in the world is in Romania, and fewer still know the remarkable story of her recent past. After suffering the horrors of Communist persecution, the life of the Church is once again flourishing. But many complexities and difficulties had to be overcome in order to re-establish and strengthen Church life-not only in outward building projects but in fostering the inward spiritual growth of the faithful. At the center of all these important tasks, we find Patriarch Daniel. For the first time in English, readers can learn more about his life, and encounter him in his own words as he addresses the challenges and the opportunities that face us today.
