Romanian Orthodox Church

The Romanian Orthodox Church is an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox church, with over 16 million members. It is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world, with its roots dating back to the 2nd century. The church played an important role in the development of Romanian culture and identity. It was a major centre of learning and scholarship during the Middle Ages, and it helped to preserve the Romanian language and culture during periods of foreign occupation. It also played a leading role in the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
