2010-11 Balázs Scholar

Levente Lázár (2010-2011) is the sixteenth Transylvanian Unitarian minister to study at Starr King School in recent years. He and his family are being hosted by our church.  Levente and Erica have two young children, Réka, 7 and Levente Junior, 11. They are attending school in Berkeley, and learning English rapidly.

Levente finished his theological studies in 1995. Together with his wife Rev. Erika Demeter they serve five congregations. They have been very involved in strengthening smaller, partnered congregations, and with renovating and building new churches. Levente says that in addition to his studies at Starr King School, "I have always been interested in the connection between science and religion, and have written several papers on the topic. My final exam topic at theological school was The Creation and The Book of Revelation. I am also interested in people’s belief systems, their relationships with God or the Transcendent, and with fulfilling spiritual needs."

If you would like to help support their time among us by sponsoring them for a Thursday night supper, or inviting them to your home or taking them on an excursion, please contact Anne Greenwood.
