New Book
Fr. Gabriel-Viorel Garden, “Episcopia Ortodoxa Romana din America-Parte a Ortodoxiei Americane,” (The Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America-Part of American Orthodoxy, Universitara Clujeana Press, 2007, 569 pages, in Romanian.
Recently the above-mentioned book was included into the Heritage Center’s library.
This is a monumental book that covers the history of “Romanian” Orthodox history in the New World. The author also presents in detail the history of the Romanian immigration to America.
The book is a very solid historical study, and the information used is overwhelming. In the meantime, the style is sober and captivating and the lecture is a real pleasure.
The conclusion of the book, implied in the title, is that the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America (with its headquarters at “Vatra Romaneasca”) is an American Orthodox entity. Directly. and indirectly. the author expresses his opinion, thai attempts to change rhis reality would be both damaging and futile.
The book is a must for those interested in Romanian-American history. >>>>>
