Ménage á Trois: Th e UUA, GAUFCC and IARF and the Birth of the ICUU (translated and revised by Dávid Gyerő)

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the birth of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists. The present translation (being the first part of the original paper) discusses the origins of the ICUU, presents those committees and associations that played crucial role in shaping the ICUU and summarizes the background that created this more truly interfaith body, the ICUU. The roots of the ICUU lead back to the very beginning of the 20th century, when the International Council of Unitarian and Other Liberal Religious Thinkers and Workers was founded in Boston on May 25th, 1900. This body then became well known under the name International Association for Religious Freedom (IARF) (1969). Another important body that contributed to the birth of the ICUU was the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), an international body of congregations, founded in 1961. The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GAUFCC, formed in 1928) contributed to the birth of the ICUU too. All these bodies had to reinterpret and adjust what international and interfaith religion meant to them.
