“We Need Not Think Alike to Love Alike: The Unitarian Church of Transylvania and the Birthplace of Religious Freedom”
with Rev. Kevin Alan Mann, Krystalargo De Lindachrist, and Brian Shaw
Join us for RevKev’s report back from his recent Pilgrimage to the Unitarian Church of Transylvania the birthplace of Unitarianism. Theologian Francis David led efforts to enact the Edict of Torda in 1568 which established Unitarianism and allowed congregants to freely elect their ministers and represented one of the first expressions of religious freedom in Christian Europe. How can a better understanding of our Unitarian legacy guide us towards international partnerships rooted in our values of Justice, Pluralism and Love?
