Racovian Catechism

The Racovian Catechism (pol. Katechizm Rakowski) is a nontrinitarian statement of faith from the 16th century.

When the views of Faustus Socinus became widely known, it became hard for him to stay in Italy. He was invited to Transylvania by a group of incipient antitrinitarians, and traveled to Poland in 1580 to aid another such group. In Poland, he found followers of Servetus and joined with them to form an antitrinitarian church known as the Minor Church. They adopted the Racovian Catechism. It was published by the Polish Brethren in 1605, and subsequently translated into other languages. These antitrinitarians later became known as Socinians.

The Minor Church survived in Poland until it was crushed by the Catholic Counter-Reformation.
