Abstract: This article's main purpose is to emphasize the main directions in the research made regarding the relations between the Romanian State and the Romanian Orthodox Church during 1923-1928, using the specific research's instruments of micro-history. The biography of Sandu Tudor can be approached as exemple, precisely because the analysis of the limit-experiences he had made, we believe, an efficient method of reconfiguration of some phenomena and historical processes from alternative and complementary positions, facilitating, at the same time, the enlightenment of dark and hidden areas. During this period, Sandu Tudor was a member of the Romanian Christian Students' Association. This membership allowed him to discover the discrepancy between YMCA, an inter-confessional, missionary Christian organization, founded in 1844, in Great Britain, which existed under the patronage of a protestant inspired Christianity, but which had orthodox values. In our try to re-build a real image of the Romanian Christian Students' Association. in which Sandu Tudor was involved, during 1923-1928, we conjunction the documents from the archive C.N.S.A.S. with interwar press.
