Guest Speaker: Rev. Lehel Molnár

In 1568 the Edict of Torda proclamation in Transylvania was the first of its kind in history; the right for individuals to believe and worship according to their own understanding; for clergy to preach and teach the Gospel as they too, understood it. This is one of the cornerstones of our modern understanding of religious practice and belief.

Rev. Lehel Molnár serves as Archivist at the Unitarian Headquarters in Kolozsvár, Transylvania (Romania). He is charged with the restoration, conservation, organization, development and administration of the 450 year old Unitarian Archives. After finishing his Seminary training in 1995, he was appointed to this position as well as to the post of Assistant Minister at the First Church in Kolozsvár where he served for nearly two years. In November of 1999, he was ordained a Unitarian minister. This year he is taking advanced courses at Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, as the Balázs Scholar.
