===Transylvania=== [[File:derzs1.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Dârjiu fortified church]], a 13th-century fortified church belonging to the [[Unitarian Church of Transylvania]]. This is the only Unitarian fortified church in Transylvania which is on the [[UNESCO]]'s [[World Heritage List]].]] The largest Unitarian denomination worldwide today is also the oldest Unitarian denomination (since 1565, first use of the term "Unitarian" 1600):<ref>a the [[Diet of Lécfalva]] 1600, in Gordon A. ''Heads of Unitarian History''</ref> the [[Unitarian Church of Transylvania]] (in [[Romania]], which is in union with the Unitarian Church in Hungary). The church in Transylvania still looks to the statement of faith, the ''[[Summa Universae Theologiae Christianae secundum Unitarios]]'' (1787), though today assent to this is not required. The modern [[Unitarian Church in Hungary]] (25,000 members) and the [[Transylvanian Unitarian Church]] (75,000 members) are affiliated with the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU) and claim continuity with the historical Unitarian Christian tradition established by [[Ferenc Dávid]] in 1565 in [[Transylvania]] under [[John II Sigismund Zápolya]]. The Unitarian churches in Hungary and Transylvania are structured and organized along a church hierarchy that includes the election by the synod of a national bishop who serves as superintendent of the Church. Many Hungarian Unitarians embrace the principles of rationalist Unitarianism.<ref>{{citation | first = David | last = Keyes | title = Most Like An Arch |year = 1999 |page = 106 |quote = And for those [UUs] who take the time to understand Transylvanian Unitarian beliefs, there may be some surprising discoveries to be made. They are humanists! Their Unitarian Christianity is steeped in rationalism, is heavily influenced by judaism}}</ref> Unitarian high schools exist only in Transylvania (Romania), including the [[John Sigismund Unitarian Academy]] in [[Cluj-Napoca]], the [[Protestant Theological Institute of Cluj]], and the Berde Mózes Unitárius Gimnázium in [[Cristuru Secuiesc]]; both teach Rationalist Unitarianism.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}
