| Summary: | The author discusses the relationship between the Hungarian minority (mostly Reformed) and the Romanian majority (Orthodox) in today’s Transylvania, with a short reference to the situation when the minority become a majority in some areas. In European political debates interethnic relations are an extremely controversial issue and in the Romanian political debates, the theme of the relationship between majority and minority communities and their peaceful living together is brought to the foreground only on the eve of elections. The explanation lies in the Romanians’ nature itself, always oscillating between inconsistency and sacrifice. The current article proposes a way of mutual dialogue between Churches for promoting a good atmosphere of living fraternally for all people of Transylvania. |
