IOAN CHIRILĂ, Bishop Nicolae Ivan – Building on the old foundations as Nehemiah did in the old
times
Homage to the one who taught us how to sow the fl ower of gratitude, to fi nd the lasting foundations
of the forerunners, to go through the bath of assumed and repentant suffering, to fi nd the strength
and the practical solutions for raising a nation to light, deeds and the fulfi llment of its destiny. This
word of praise for Bishop Nicolae Ivan aims to bring in actuality his lucid and pragmatic spirit,
united with the gospel and apologist of the right faith as a role model today. A lesson for shaping the
culture of gratitude, a vivid example of economic, fi nancial, banking, educational and social ingenuity
worth taking, a soul full of love and of incessant disposition to serve his fellow setting the times
right. Vivid words about the one fi lled with passion for work and the one who tells about the dignity
of a nation at the dawn of its creative freedom to restore itself in the Lord.
KEYWORDS: gratitude, unity, restoration, responsibility, dedication
