Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the author brings into discussion the Romanian phenomenon of migration, often described as ‘the Romanian Exodus’ due to the impressive numbers of Romanians who emigrated to the West (especially to Western Europe).

He argues for the need of ‘local’ or ‘contextualized’ Romanian theologies that could meet the current social events experienced by Romanian people. He believes that the Romanian Exodus could be a starting point in developing such theologies. KEY WORDS: migration, Romania, Exodus, indigenous theology, contextual theology.
