Biography

Petru Dugulescu Petru Dugulescu DezInformaii

Born in Chelmac, Arad County, Dugulescu graduated from the Baptist Theological Seminary in Bucharest, and became a pastor, while authoring works of Christian poetry. During a period when the Communist regime engaged in the persecution of Baptists, he was kept under surveillance by the secret police (the Securitate). The latter institution pressured him to stop preaching, and threatened that he was to suffer a car accident were he to refuse; Dugulescu refused to comply. In September 1985, an unmarked bus crashed into the car he was driving, causing the pastor to suffer multiple fractures. Dugulescu's autobiography, Ei mi-au programat moartea ("They Programmed My Death", translated into English under the title Repenters), details this interval and includes his own account of the events.

He was the founder and president of Charity Foundation Jesus the Hope of Romania and Onesimus Brothers House for street children in Timişoara.

Dugulescu turned in his last book (Democrație și Persecuție, "Democracy and Persecution") for publication on December 20, 2007, and on the afternoon of January 3, 2008 he suffered a fatal heart attack.
