Paradigm Change in Minority Fate. The Economical Organisation in the Unitarian Church between 1920–1940

Summary/Abstract: Before 1920 the social and economical problems were present with a lesser emphasis in the church life. After Trianon this view changed substantially. Because it has lost its meaning as a result of the discriminatory politics, the Church was enforced to lean on its followings in an increasing mode. But the discriminatory politics weakened the economical power of the Hungarian community too. The pauperization of his followings and the grave economical situation obliged the church to involve in the organization of the economical life. Besides the church' s interest a similar importancy had the aim of keeping the national identity. In this activity we can detach two periods. The first period started from 1920 until 1930. This period contained the first stream of Roumanian state's discriminatory measures; the church' s and the Hungarian minority's economical position loosing. This was the reappraisaling period regarding to the role of the Church and ministers in the Hungarian minority society and the clarification of the following strategies. The second period contained the putting in practice of economical strategies and the successful institutional construction. The church' s economical organization activity was motivated by national, social, theological, moral and pragmatical factors. Besides this, an important role had the existing traditions, the ministers who studied in foreign universities, and the Hungarian society' s material and moral solidarity.
