Summary/Abstract: The Sepsibodok (Bodoc) Unitarian Fellowship which belongs to the Kálnok (Calnic) Unitarian Church has its roots in the Calvinist Church of Sepsibodok. This article focuses on the events from the 1870’s, when the Sepsibodok Calvinist congregation had to choose a new minister. The previous minister, Farkas Zayzon wanted to return but meanwhile four other ministers applied for the job. The article, based on archival documents, details the illegalities of the process which resulted in Lajos Vass becoming the new minister. Those members of the parish who were unhappy with the results and the illegalities of the process became the founding members of the Bodok Unitarian Community. They reached out to Dániel Ütő, the Kálnok Unitarian minister who helped them establish their new parish.
