Along with the 1989 historic moment in Romania, many aspects of social, economic, political or religious life which, in the past regime, were effectively forbidden, started to reappear, to return to life. In Romania after 1990 social work reoccurs in force, both in the academic education and on the organisational level. Our research is focused on the State-Church relation as regards social work in Romania after the 1989 Revolution. As for the research scope, we selected child protection for a number of reasons, among which we may mention: after 1990 the sector undergoing a powerful development in social work was child protection; the Church has a deep involvement not only in the ecclesial social work but even in the organisation of the state's system providing social work activities; Romania is a strongly religious country, still anchored in traditionalist values, where the Church represents one of the most representative institutions significantly impregnated in Romanians’ social life at present.
