From the (Recent) History of the Church Life in Bessarabia
The present article analyzes some aspects related to the recent history of
the Orthodox Church in Bessarabia. On this land with canonical dispute there
are two ecclesial units that justify their title - “Orthodox Church of
Moldavia” and “Metropolitan Church of Bessarabia”. One is jurisdiction of the
Patriarchate of Moscow, the other one of the Romanian Patriarchate, both with
primates and suffragan hierarchs. Orthodoxy in Bessarabia bears the marks of
the convulsions generated by the overlapping of the two jurisdictions.
