 The church is akin to both Transylvanian Unitarianism and Judaism, hence the name "bét" referring to the Hebrew word for "house" and "Dávid" which is the name of the first Transylvanian Unitarian bishop Dávid Ferenc (1510–1579).In 2006 this church was associated with the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU).Since 2007 there is also a Unitarian Universalist Fellowship independent of The Norwegian Unitarian Church.
