An ecclesiological research on the dynamics of Baptist churches in Constanta in the context of religious pluralism.
Ecclesiological and ethnographic research is valuable in that it can inspire the ecclesial practices of other churches. They provide the wisdom that faith communities need to contextualize the teaching about the church. Dobrogea represents an interesting space for research not only because of its religious pluralism, but also because for Baptist churches it is one of the spaces where the Baptist movement began in Romania. This research focuses on the religious realities in Constanța county, having as a starting point the multicultural context and religious pluralism, then analyzing the dynamics of some churches, and finally, a reporting of the situation exists to the practices of healthy churches.
