Summary/Abstract: The present paper follows the history of training courses of the Unitarian cantors between 1950‒1976, based on archival materials of the Hungarian Unitarian Church from Transylvania, documents, interviews and published articles. The analysis tries to reveal the remaining possibilities of religious education under the severe control of communist authorities and the Securitate, mainly the training of cantors when traditional confessional colleges were nationalized by the State in 1948.
