A Worldwide Faith

An orientation to Unitarian Universalism as a faith with a worldwide history, a worldwide community, and a worldwide impact on human rights.

Unitarian Universalists are a diverse and quirky bunch, and yet we have values in common. These values include justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence, and generosity. All of these values came into play during the longest trip of my life, a pilgrimage I took shortly after the turn of the century to Hungary and Romania. I attended the conference of the International Association of Religious Freedom, held that year in Budapest, and I visited Unitarian congregations in Transylvania, our cousins who have been gathering in freedom and reason and tolerance since the 1500s.

I looked forward to the tour of Unitarian congregations and pilgrimage sites in Transylvania partly because it gave me a chance to spend more time with a friend and colleague who had spent a year as a scholar in residence at my seminary. Those day-to-day conversations led to a deeper understanding of the interdependence that exists today in the theological and cultural exchange between Unitarians in Transylvania and around the world and Unitarian Universalists in the United States. I learn different things about historical UU figures like William Ellery Channing and Henry David Thoreau and Clarence Russell Skinner when I get the perspective of people who are applying a different strand of Unitarian or Universalist theology in another country.

Lifting our heads up above the walls of our mental and emotional cubicles is important, and it can be hard to do when we feel pressured by time or intensity or despair. There are a lot of forces that benefit when they can separate us from each other or from our best selves. Reconnecting with our larger communities, with our heritage, and with our values helps us to overcome that sense of isolation. And so it is worthwhile to remember that we Unitarian Universalists are part of a worldwide history, a worldwide faith community, and a worldwide network of action for justice and equity.

Worldwide History

In addition to the international interdependence angle, I also wanted to visit Transylvania to learn more about Unitarian history. Studying our history can help us to take pride in the depth and beauty of our movement. In addition, knowing our history is one aspect of knowing ourselves. History doesn’t have to be destiny, yet we will have a better sense of how to create a path forward when we can learn from the experience of where we have been.

Transylvania is one of the origin points of our faith movement. The founder of Unitarianism in Transylvania, Dávid Ferenc or Francis David, got some ideas from theologians who came before him. During the Council of Nicea in 325, Arius argued that Jesus was not of the same substance as God, and was not co-eternal with God. Obviously, Arius did not win that debate, and the doctrine of the Trinity left no room for dissent for a long time. Arius’ ideas continued as a heresy without much traction in the Christian world, though of course Jews and Muslims maintained the unity of God throughout their histories.

Michael Servetus was martyred in 1553 for trying to correct the theological error of the Trinity. Servetus wasn’t trying to start a new church, he was trying to make changes in the churches that already existed. But his books had already been published, and the book bans couldn’t keep up with the spread of his ideas. Giorgio Biandrata, a physician who learned from Servetus, fled from Geneva and became the personal physician to Princess Isabella of Poland, who later became the mother of King John Sigismund of Transylvania.

Dávid Ferenc was a scholar, then a Lutheran priest, then a Calvinist or Reformed leader, but his ideas kept evolving. Reading about Servetus and Arius and others, Dávid Ferenc came to believe that the Trinity had no scriptural basis, and so he preached his first Unitarian sermon in 1566. Crucially, unlike Servetus, Dávid Ferenc already had a community of people who were following him, the seeds of a religious movement.

In other places in Europe, disagreements over religion were solved with violence or banishment. King John Sigismund of Transylvania brought together the leaders of the four major religious viewpoints for a peaceful debate in the Diet of Torda in 1568. The king took to heart Dávid Ferenc’s statement that “The conscience will be peaceful when it reaches the truth.” King John Sigismund issued the Edict of Torda, guaranteeing religious freedom to Catholics, Lutherans, Calvinists, and Unitarians. That still left a lot of people out, but it was the most tolerant position of any monarch in Europe at the time. The king converted to Unitarianism, having been convinced by Dávid Ferenc of a loving and singular God, and so was the only Unitarian king we know of for the rest of his short life.

Backing up in the lineage a bit, the Italian scholar Laelius Socinus had learned from Servetus, and Laelius’s nephew Faustus Socinus inherited his papers and his ideas, and led a group of religious reformers who fled Poland and took refuge in Transylvania, where he met up with Dávid Ferenc.

When King John Sigismund died in an “accident” at age 30, the rulers who followed him couldn’t put all of that religious diversity all the way back in the bottle, but they did outlaw “innovation.” Each of the four religions was allowed to continue, as long as they didn’t spread any new ideas. Dávid Ferenc could not stop evolving, despite the advice of his friends. He was old and unwell by this time, and did not survive imprisonment. He died in Deva in 1579. We consider him a martyr, and there is a memorial in his prison cell. His epitaph was these last words scratched into the wall of his cell: “Neither the sword of popes, nor the cross, nor the image of death – nothing will halt the march of truth."

Unitarian congregations in Transylvania kept meeting, and continuously operate to this day. Faustus Socinus kept writing, and his ideas made their way to England, where they were picked up by Joseph Priestley and Theophilus Lindsey, who started a Unitarian church in England in 1774. Joseph Priestley kept evolving his ideas, too, and eventually found a more receptive home for his thinking in America, where he helped start Unitarianism in Philadelphia.

So, from these origin stories, we learn that pluralism is important. Through pluralism, we have an exchange of ideas, strength in diversity, and a chance to engage with differences through peaceful means. All of that fuels transformation toward inclusion, justice, and equity. We learn that studying matters, and that sometimes ideas that seem new are points of connection with friends we haven’t yet met; we are more interdependent than we know. And we learn that being learned and articulate is not enough, we need to organize communities of people. The congregations of Transylvania were held together not only by theology, but by the practices that were informed by their belief in a loving and caring God. Ideas are resilient, and communities of people who take care of one another even more so.

Worldwide Faith Community

The history is inspiring, but we can’t let that distract us from the real and living faith community we enjoy around the world today. As I mentioned earlier, my trip to Transylvania was a double-header with attending the annual meeting of the International Association for Religious Freedom, which was held in Budapest that year. The IARF conference was interfaith. I attended lectures led by Bahai and Christian Reformed leaders. I stayed in the young adult dormitory (which should emphasize how long ago this was). Some of the others in my cohort included a Muslim woman and a Hindu woman from Pakistan and India, who sang together for the dorm talent show. I lit shabbat candles on Friday night with a rabbinical student from Great Britain and a Jewish UU colleague. A contingent of Catholic students from Mexico presented a story about water and interdependence.

That being said, Unitarians and Universalists and Unitarian Universalists from all over the world had a strong presence at the conference. I would like to think that our practice with pluralism helped us to be supportive participants in that environment.

We got a lot more practice with pluralism that week. Not only did we meet in interfaith small groups to listen deeply and to explore tough questions, we also learned more about our worldwide UU faith movement. I found it transformative to meet Universalists from the Philippines and Unitarians from northeast India and British Unitarians, and to have deeper conversations with my friends from Transylvania and Canada and other parts of the United States. Participants in our worldwide faith have a lot in common, and there are also beautiful and diverse expressions of that faith in each location. The practices of Universalism in the Philippines and Unitarianism in the Khasi Hills and Unitarian Universalists in western Europe and Unitarians in Transylvania all look different from each other.

We can be interdependent and connected without being the same. In fact, we shouldn’t be the same. Enforced sameness that disregards local culture would not be true to our roots or our values. Most of our international cousins are some form of Christian, though almost always in a more liberating and wide-ranging way than their local ecumenical neighbors. That means that when we tend to our international relationships, we listen with grace and appreciation, even if our cousins pray differently than we might in our home congregations.

After the conference, I was off to visit a series of Unitarian friends and heritage sites in Transylvania. Though Transylvania doesn’t exist as a country anymore, this region that is mostly in what is now Romania still has its own identity. Our Transylvanian cousins speak Hungarian at home, and so in Romania they hold a minority religion, language, and ethnicity. Between World War II and 1991, Unitarian church lands and schools were taken by the government for communal rule. Many Unitarian churches are still negotiating with the government to get their property back. Nevertheless, they persisted in keeping their language and their faith alive, even when it was dangerous to do so. Today there are about 150 Unitarian congregations in the region, with a combined membership of about 50,000 people.

On my tour, I had a deep experience of generosity. I didn’t have a car, but relied on rides from friends, organized tour groups that made a temporary spot for me, and help from my Transylvanian colleagues with navigating public transportation. I stayed one night in the dorm at the Unitarian school in Kolozsvar, and otherwise was treated to home hospitality. The homes I visited were elegantly simple and lovely, and my hosts brought out their best to help me to feel welcome. I saw inspiring architecture, cheered for young people finally allowed to do their traditional dances in their traditional regalia, did my best to sing hymns in Hungarian, and ate really fantastic cheese. I will never forget their kindness and their patience with my ignorance. I hope that I can learn to welcome the stranger as heartily as my Transylvanian colleagues welcomed me. Generosity is a value in American Unitarian Universalism, and we can learn how to live that value more fully by deepening our relationships with our international cousins.

Even though I met hundreds of people on that trip, there were international communities of Unitarians and Universalists I did not get a chance to hear about at the time. There are communities in Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Burundi, Italy, Germany and more. The Universalists or Unitarian Universalists of the Philippines have their own fascinating history, starting in the 1950s when their founder, Toribio Quimada, received assistance from the Universalist Service Committee. Universalism in the Philippines is a community of joy and resistance, and the risks they take by proclaiming their faith became evident when Quimada was assassinated in 1988. The Unitarians of the Khasi Hills and northeast India have a tradition going back to 1887. Again, pluralism and generosity help us to open our minds and hearts to learning, and this in turn leads us to deeper truth and more effective action for justice and equity.

There have been a lot of changes recently to the ways Unitarian Universalism in the United States handles relationships with our larger international faith community. Our international connections have been vital and valuable for over 100 years, and yet sometimes our American tendencies to take over or to operate out of charity rather than solidarity have gotten in the way of deep and accountable relationships. Rev. Morgan McLean is the Program Manager of the UUA’s International Office. She tells me that the UUA has been helping to facilitate the process of reimagining our global faith. The International Partner Church Council and the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists have been dissolved, and there is a Leadership and Design Team in place with representatives from all over the world who are slowly, relationally, mindfully imagining something new, better, and more congruent with our shared values. My colleague says, “We are building a world transformed by love.”

Worldwide Action

The operations of the UUA and its counterparts in other countries is, to an extent, internal. We are interdependent in our UU universe. Yet we also put our values to work in the world without regard to evangelism or the similarity of our human rights partners to ourselves. I’m talking about the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.

Just as we in the UUA have learned more about how to have equitable relationships with our international family of faith, the UUSC has learned more about decolonizing their work. They center the voices and leadership of the most impacted rather than parachuting into a crisis situation and acting as experts. The UUSC has focused their United Nations advocacy work on amplifying the voices of their partners and helping those partner organizations get into the conversations. At the UN’s COP28 [Conference Of Parties] late last year, the UUSC helped people from 18 grassroots organizations get to the conference, and helped five of them from the Pacific Islands and the Philippines to get into the “Blue Zone,” where formal negotiations occur. We know that climate change most deeply impacts the people and nations who contribute to it the least, and that climate change drives other kinds of human rights disasters. Elevating the voices of the most impacted, getting them to the negotiating table, is the kind of thing a human rights organization driven by UU values can do with generous support.

The UUSC’s human rights work related to climate justice is in addition to their support for their other partners. With the UUSC’s help, local partners are supporting Black and Trans people who are impacted by the war in Ukraine; organizations helping migrants in Mexico to find safety; and organizations in Burma working to achieve accountability for human rights violations. The UUSC also has a congregational accompaniment program for asylum seekers. They offer tools and information that support congregations and other groups in advocacy related to human rights. You can learn more in the recently-published UUSC annual report.

The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee is not about evangelism or congregational operations. The UUSC is a human rights organization that channels resources and translates core values like justice and equity into action. By partnering with the UUSC, we can have a global impact that we would never be able to have operating as an isolated congregation. In partnering together, we remember that we are one interdependent world, resilient when we remember that we are not alone.

Conclusion

You are not alone. We are not alone. This congregation is one of about a thousand congregations in the United States, connected in covenant with all of the other member congregations of the UUA. We are connected in history to the congregations in Transylvania and Great Britain and beyond who carry on traditions from the great turning points when our faith movement started and restarted. We are connected in mission and values to Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist congregations all over the world. We are connected in generosity and action to the international partner organizations of the UU Service Committee, supporting human rights and resilience in the face of climate change.

Let’s keep in mind this larger picture of pluralism as we think about how to be in relationship with neighboring congregations in our cluster, across the state, in the Central East Region, and in our wider Association. Let’s celebrate the possibilities for transformation as we lift up our interdependence, open our hearts to generosity, and practice justice and equity together.

So be it. Blessed be. Amen.

Eltos

Age: old?? Gender: he/him Ability: Power Drain - He can drain the energy of someone, borrowing their power

Eltos is a renowned outlaw in this land. Some time ago he disappeared, along with the King's heir. He is the biological father of Henry and adopted father of Riley. He raised the two until the king sent Arius to retrieve Riley, and lost them both. Eltos found himself actually caring a lot for both Henry and Riley and loves them very much. Part of him wants his family back, but another part knows he has yet to accomplish his original goal.

Here we go! Sorry I don’t have much art for him! He’s like the one character I barely drew. He kinda looks like a beetle in his original concept

THE SIGNS AS SURREALLY EXTRA MEDIEVAL/EARLY MODERN EVENTS

ARIES: ETIQUETTE AT VERSAILLES, 1682

Louis XVI literally made up like 15 million court rituals to deadass just fuck with the nobles and keep them busy while he blinged the political shit out of France

TAURUS: TRIAL BY ORDEAL

During the absolute shitshow of the 16th century, this one random asshole decided to be burned alive to prove that God would save him because he alone had the right interpretation of the Bible, and then died because he refused to admit he might be wrong

GEMINI: AVIGNON PAPACY, 1309-1376

The French cardinals got so salty at the Italians they fucking moved the papacy to Avignon and went through 100 years of drama just to prove their point

CANCER: SIEGE OF MUNSTER, 1534

SO these extra ass Anabaptists decided to take over Münster and institute mandatory communism and group sex and then the Catholics and Lutherans were so done with this their shit they sacked the city, put the leaders in cages, hung the cages from the cathedral, and left the skeletons there until like 1850. The cages are STILL THERE. Do you see my point

LEO: POSTING OF THE 95 THESES, 1517

Martin Luther was such a petty👏🏻 hoe👏🏻 he drew up a detailed list of all the reason the Catholic Church was the absolute worst, nailed it to the cathedral door, and then fuckin MAILED IT to every major political figure in Europe just to deadass start a fight

VIRGO: THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA, 325

The Arian Controversy is a whole earth sign clusterfuxk of its own but St. Nick takes it to a whole new level - he got so fed up with Arius’ being a little bitch that he punched him in the FACE during the most important ecumenical council of medieval Christianity

LIBRA: DANIELE DA VOLTERRA, 1565

Because they were all in existential crisis after of the Protestant Revolution, the Italians freaked out about sexy paintings and in a moment of panic put pants on all the paintings of naked people in the Sistine Chapel, but then realized they fucked up and tried to undo it for like 50 years

SCORPIO: THE FOURTH CRUSADE, 1204

The Christians changed their minds halfway through a crusade and casually sacked Constantinople like the PETTY👏🏻BITCHES👏🏻THEY👏🏻WERE👏🏻

SAGITTARIUS: THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, 1534

Henry VIII declared himself head of the English Church and started a war with Spain AND Rome just so he could get with a hot girl

CAPRICORN: THE GREAT SCHISM, 1410-1417

Because men are all fucking CHILDREN, everyone suddenly decided they were the “correct” pope and no one would admit they were wrong, kicking off a continental existential panic that ruptured the entire fucking political order of Christian Europe

AQUARIUS: CONVERSION OF ROME, 1312

Emperor Constantine made a deal with God and when God won he was just like “mmkay well guess I’ll just convert the entire Roman Empire because go big or go home right do it for the vine”

PISCES: JOHN V. INNOCENT IIII, 1213

Oh my god so THIS👏🏻BITCH👏🏻 Prince John decided to lead a coup against his brother, which irritated the pope, who decided to fuck with John by basically fucking around in England without permission. John got salty bc he was the fucking King so he started a literal flame war via mail w the pope and started arresting all the cardinals’ side hoes. Then the POPE was salty bc John was being a total dick so he excommunicated him, which John gave ZERO FUCKS ABOUT until the pope said he’d team up with France to fuck England up. John was like “shit oh no” so he just fucking gave the pope England as an apology gift and the pope was like “dude yeah we’re chill” but then they both roasted the shit out of each other in all the historiography and the tea is something else

L'ORIGINE DU DIEU " TROIS EN UN ": LA DOCTRINE TRINITAIRE. ( PARTIE 5 )

Romains 6 : 3

Ignorez-vous que nous tous qui

avons été baptisés en Jésus

Christ, c'est en sa mort que nous

avons été baptisés?

( Ignorez-vous que nous tous qui avons été baptisés "en Jésus-Christ! " Non pas au nom du Père, du Fils et du Saint-Esprit. )

Pendant la persécution du deuxième siècle, un petit groupe d'intellectuels chrétiens, dont les plus éminents furent Aristides et le Martyre Justin, adressèrent aux empereurs et à d'autres personnages insignes des dissertations ayant pour but de defendre l'Évangile, d'arrêter la persécution et de répondre aux accusations contre l'église chrétienne.

Ces dissertations, appelées apologies, étaient, en fait, des compromis entre le Christianisme et le paganisme. À cause de l'impact qu'eurent les Apologies, les concepts du Dieu trin, de Marie en tant que mère de Dieu et du symbolisme païen prirent racine et commencèrent à croître dans les discussions et dans les écrits.

Les tentatives du gouvernement romain pour supprimer l'Église primitive prirent fin lorsque Constantin, l'empereur romain, vint au pouvoir après sa victoire au Pont Milvius en ( 312 A.D. ). Après la conversion de Constantin au Christianisme, il publia, à Milan, un édit qui accordait aux Chrétiens les mêmes droits que ceux accordés aux adeptes d'autres religions, de même que la restitution des torts faits aux Chrétiens.

Scribner's Sons, 1959 ), page

Peu après, Constantin commença à accorder aux Chrétiens des faveurs spéciales, ce qui fit de la conversion au Christianisme un moyen de s'assurer la promotion politique, militaire et sociale. Ainsi, des milliers de non-chrétiens commencèrent à se joindre à l'Église pour obtenir des faveurs politiques. En retour des faveurs spéciales qu'il accordait et de l'indulgence dont il faisait preuve, Constantin exigea d'avoir voix au chapitre dans les affaires de l'Église.

Ce fut à l'apogée de la puissance de Constantin, au début du quatrième siècle, que l'idée de la co-égalité de Jésus-Christ avec Dieu le Père commença à gagner un grand nombre d'adhérents. Pourtant, à cette époque la doctrine trinitaire n'était pas une doctrine établie. L'idée d'un dieu trin souleva une forte polémique au sein de l'Église car il y avait encore bon nombre de membres du clergé et de laïcs qui n'acceptaient pas la position du Christ en tant que Dieu.

Cette mésentente au sujet de la position du Christ a atteint son niveau le plus remarquable lors de la confrontation entre l'Evêque Alexandre d'Alexandrie, Egypte, et son prêtre Arius. L'Evêque Alexandre enseignait que Jésus était égal à Dieu; Arius maintenait le contraire. Ainsi, lors d'un synode tenu à Alexandrie en 321, Arius fut de déposé et excommunié.

Christian Church, page 111 .

Bien qu'Arius fût maintenant en disgrâce auprès de l'établissement, il était encore fortement soutenu en dehors de l'Égypte. Un grand nombre d'évêques importants, tels l'historien érudit Eusèbe de Césarée Palestinienne et son puissant homonyme, Eusèbe, Évêque de Nicomédie, étaient Théologiquement d'accord avec Arius : Jésus-Christ n'est pas Dieu.

Church ( Grand Rapids : wm. B.

À suivre . . .

Que Dieu vous bénisse abondamment, vous fortifie puissamment, vous protège et vous garde en parfaite santé au nom de Jésus-Christ, amen!
