The Orthodox faith has been a uniting force in the history of the Romanian people and in the shaping of its national and spiritual identity, something that this conference also aims to highlight.<\/p>\n<h4>Conference partners<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Archdiocese of Timi\u0219oara \u2013 Education Sector<\/li>\n<li>Cambridge Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies<\/li>\n<li>PEMPTOUSIA &amp; St Maxim the Greek Institute, Athens<\/li>\n<li>Faculty of Letters, History and Theology \u2013 West University of Timisoara<\/li>\n<li>Romanian Academy \u2013 Timisoara Branch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Key topics:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Orthodox Mariology in Patristic Theology and in Byzantine, Syriac, Coptic Hymnology, Iconography and Hagiographies;<\/li>\n<li>Rev.
