But visits really make the relationship bloom. Jerry and I were the
first to meet them in 1991. After the church service there were tears
in everyone’s eyes as we shook hands. József said that it was a holy
day because we had come. Isn’t that exactly what Martin Luther King
meant by seeing the divine in another person? Let me tell you, it
really hit home. Several groups of us have visited since and returned
with a deeper and broader sense of what it means to be Unitarian. The
courage and faithfulness of our partners through generations of
religious persecution is much better understood while sharing the warm
hospitality of their homes. The opportunity is open to anyone in this
church. When József visited here in 1995 he got a sense of the larger
denomination by attending General Assembly and was especially impressed
with all the volunteering we do for our church.
