„Megtartott minket magyarnak a templom és az iskola.” Derzsi Elekes Domokos székelykeresztúri ügyvéd pályarajza
“Church and school have kept us Hungarians”. Domokos Derzsi Elekes, Székelykeresztúr (Cristuru Secuiesc) lawyer

Summary/Abstract: Domokos Derzsi Elekes (1889–1962), an attorney-at-law in Székelykeresztúr (Cristuru Secuiesc), was a prominent figure in the history of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church in the first half of the 20th century. In 1930, the Unitarian Church decided, due to its difficult economic situation, to close its grammar school in Székelykeresztúr but keep the one in Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca). Following the decision, a School Funding Committee was formed, chaired by Domokos Elekes. For seven years the Székelykeresztúr grammar school operated with private funds, until 1938, when it was again financed by the church. In recognition of Elekes’ merits, the Transylvania Unitarian Church elected him as its superintendent in 1938, a post he held for three years.
