On July 7, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. the Heritage Center organized its first “round table” at its head­quarters, 2540 Grey Tower Road, Jackson, Michigan.

The session was chaired by His Eminence, Most Rev. Archbishop Nathaniel, the Chairman of the Heritage Center Board of Direc­tors.

The main speakers were: Uni­versity Professor Dr. Aurel Sasu (University of Cluj, Romania), an old and staunch supporter and friend of the Heritage Center, well known for his outstanding scho­lastic contribution to the history of the Romanian-American com­munity, and Alexandru Nemoianu, the Historian of the Heritage Center.

The main topics debated were: the concepts used to define the personal and the group identity and the significance of Arch­bishop Valerian D. Trifa’s pas­torate .

The debates were animated and Mrs. (Preoteasa) Joan Heifner from Rives Junction participated and contributed very precious ob­servations.

The conclusions reached will be incorporated in articles to be published in future issues of the “Information Bulletin.”

The proceedings of the round table were recorded on video tape to be preserved in the Heritage Center’s archives and to be listed on the Heritage Center web site.
