Partner Church

First Unitarian Church is partnered with the Budapesti Unitarius Egyhazkozseg in Budapest , Hungary.

Why partner? The reasons are many.

First Unitarian Church of Portland:

  • To develop a cross-cultural relationship
  • To create a historical connection and experience
  • To gain a better understanding of our church in an international context
  • To better enable us to influence our government's response to Eastern Europe
  • To foster people engagement and peaceful dialogues
  • To exchange ideas (theological, political, philosophical)
  • To embrace differences
  • To reflect on our priveleges
  • To deconstruct the "other"

 
Budapesti Unitarius Egyhazkozseg

  • To keep in touch with people on the other side of the globe
  • To make friendships and to become closer to another world, another style of life, another way of thinking
  • To share our experience and to learn from the partner
  • To be able to enjoy together each other's joys and help each other in sorrow
  • To learn about what Unitarian Universalists think and to share our own old religion
  • To have an active communication at the level of every generation leading to personal acquaintances and friendships
