Acest scurt studiu aduce în atenție evoluția predării și practicii muzicale în cadrul colegiului unitarian din Cluj în perioada secolelor XVI–XIX. De la interdicția instrumentelor muzicale și a cântatului indecent la permisiunea treptată a practicii muzicale în incinta colegiului și introducerea predării muzicii, evoluția reflectă schimbările sociale și culturale din acele vremuri. Muzica a devenit, în cele din urmă, o parte acceptată și chiar integrată în viața colegiului, marcând o tranziție importantă în percepția și practica muzicală în colegiul unitarian din Cluj și comunitatea unitariană din Transilvania.

This paper is an expanded and somewhat more elaborated version of an earlier study in which I tried to give a general overview on the word-usage concerning the passion of Jesus Christ in the early Christian creeds. The purpose of this short paper is in part to give a comparative presentation of the sufferings of Lord Jesus Christ in the Western Creeds, and in part I also try to define the role of mentioning the name of Pontius Pilatus in them.

Ismerve ezt a kort, a címet akár ellentmondásosnak is lehet tekinteni. Bethlen Gábor uralkodását szinte teljesen kitöltötte a harmincéves háború, aktívan vett részt benne, mégpedig a protestáns szövetség oldalán, és aki ismeri a harmincéves háború mindennapjait, az jól tudja, hogy akkor épp nem volt divat toleránsnak lenni. A korabeli gyakorlatot megcáfolva, Bethlen Gábor mégis toleráns volt nemcsak a római katolikus egyház, hanem a különféle más felekezetek, sőt kisebb vallási csoportosulások irányában is. Erre kötelezte őt az erdélyi gyakorlat és a józan ész.

Minden egyházközségnek megvan a maga jellegzetessége, sajátos arculata. Az I. Mezőségi Ifjúsági Konferencia azt a célt tűzte maga elé, hogy felkutassa azokat az értékeket, amelyek széppé teszik egy-egy gyülekezet lelki arcát, és amelyek megtartó erőt jelentenek az eljövendő nemzedékek számára.

In this short paper I would like to provide a comparative analysis of the passages concerning the passion of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Early Christian confessions (among them the Apostolic Creed1 as well), because these passages are frequently the source of theological misunderstanding and debates. The main question which urged me to do this research had occurred in relation with the Apostolic Creed. How do we say correctly: ‘I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell…’ or ‘I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered, under Pontius Pilate He was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell…’? I shall try to answer this question by analysing the relevant passages of the creeds which were composed in the first six centuries.

A megbékélés keresése eredménytelen volt, a harc pedig részben célt ért és hisszük, hogy további részében is diadalt hoz. Kelet-Magyarország, északi és keleti Erdély újra magyar! A románokkal szembeni magatartásunk visszatérhet azokhoz az ősi alapokhoz, amelyeket a nemzetiségi kérdésre nézve általánosságban István király Intelmei jelöltek ki és amelyeket Erdélyben Bethlen Gábor országépítő politikája valósított meg. Ez az ősi út az egyetlen helyes magatartás.
