It is 145 years since the establishment of the "Justinian Patriarch" Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Bucharesttranslated

The "Justinian Patriarch" Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Bucharest (FTOUB) celebrates its 145th anniversary on Thursday.

The official opening of the theological education institution took place on November 12, 1881.

After the unification of the Principalities, the repeated attempts of some hierarchs and the General Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church finally led to the official opening of the Faculty of Theology.

Only in 1890, the Law on the Faculty of Theology in Bucharest, published in the Official Gazette, no. 74, from Tuesday 3/15 July 1890, recognized the establishment of this Faculty.

The official opening of the courses of the new Theological Institute took place on January 30, 1949. It first received as its headquarters the building of the former Central Seminary and, then, in October 1949, the building of the former Normal School, on Sfânta Ecaterina street, no. 2.

The return to the University took place in the academic year 1991-1992. Over time, new specializations were also established: Literary Theology and Social Work Theology (1991), Cultural Heritage Theology and Classical Languages ​​Theology: Greek and Latin (1995) and Church Painting Theology (1996).
