IPS Nifon, awarded by the Romanian Red Cross National Societytranslated

His Eminence Father Nifon, Archbishop of Târgoviște, Honorary Metropolitan and Patriarchal Exarch, received a diploma of gratitude and a medal at the Red Cross Gala, held on Thursday at the Romanian Athenaeum.

The event marked the 150th anniversary of the national society and paid tribute to all those involved in the development of the Romanian Red Cross.

His Eminence was the president of this organization in the period 2002-2007, during which he initiated and coordinated an extensive process of revision of the statute of the Romanian Red Cross.

At the same time, he decisively contributed to the amendment of the Romanian Red Cross Law - a fundamental legal act that provided the institution with the necessary legal framework to fulfill its mission with dignity and efficiency.

"Both the Church and the Red Cross share the same fundamental calling: defending the dignity of the human person and alleviating suffering, regardless of origin or social condition. That is why the collaboration between these important institutions, landmarks of our civilization, is a natural expression of love towards fellow human beings", emphasized the honorary Metropolitan Nifon.
