This specific kind of faith is the solid spiritual framework of the Christian Church and it gives to the Church one of its main characteristics, unity and unicity. It is appropriate to say here that the problem of the unity of the Church was a main preoccupation for its theologians especially in times when the Church passed through difficult crises threatening its very existence with annihilation, distortion, or corruption. This was the case in the time of Cyprian when the Church had to face heresies, schisms, and persecutions that threatened both the being and the visible unity of the Christian community. That is why, according to the specific circumstances in which he wrote, Cyprian had his own approach to the problem of the unity of the Church, which proves the validity of one important principle in the life of this institution, enduring throughout the whole of Church history and through all generations: unitas in diversitas, its character of unity in diversity. St. Cyprian of Carthage St. Cyprian was born in approximately 200 A.D. There is little extant information about his early life. It is known that he was baptized in 246, that he was an admirer and reader of Tertullian, that he was educated to be a rhetorician and that in 248 he became bishop of Carthage. During his time the Roman emperors intensively and extensively persecuted the Christian people so that Cyprian himself went into hiding

At the same time, day-by-day new data and arguments come a ttesting that Thracian and Geto-Dacian territory was one of the first zone where the European Christianity got significant roots. Researcher, professor in History of Religions, priest and writer, Mr.Theodor Damian add to the issue some very interesting and useful arguments, supporting the idea that the explaination of the Romanians continuity and the preservation of their language can be demonstrated by a careful analyse of histor y of early Christian missionary activity in the first centuries of the New Era.
