The UUA Partner Church
Council was formed in 1990 to help foster a cultural,
spiritual, and economic bond between American
congregations and partner churches in Transylvania.
Within that same year, the UUCM formed a
partnership with the Unitarian church in the town of Szekely
Szentmihaly in the Transylvania area of Romania.
A committee was formed to focus on our
partner church. The committee's ongoing projects
include:
- Fundraising to support our partner church
- Holding social events with Hungarian foods,
music, and videos from Szentmihaly, to create a
cultural bond for UUCM members
- Coordinating penpals between the children of our
congregation and theirs
- Supporting any travelers from our congregation
who make the trek to Szentmihaly
Members of our congregation have visited our partner church
on 5 different occasions, most recently in the summer of 2004. The travelers
included 3 teenagers from our congregation, who met and stayed with their penpals'
family while in the village.
Currently we are supporting a large-scale multi-year project to
bring a gasline into the village. Major fundraising for this project
is done by the Partner Church committee with our Transylvanian partners
sometimes literally in the trenches digging ditches for the line.
