Benjamin Legg was appointed to the position of English Teacher for Unitarian Students at the Protestant Theological Institute in Kolozsvar, Romania, in the Spring of 2005, and has just begun his first semester there.
Legg is a life-long Unitarian Universalist who has received his certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Legg speaks Spanish, Portuguese and French, and has been a bilingual tutor in the Amherst, Massachusetts, school district. Legg has studied and worked in both Brazil and Russia, and, before moving to Kolozsvar, he lived most recently in South Attleboro, Massachusetts, where he was employed as a feature reporter for The Sun Chronicle newspaper.
Legg feels that "working in Transylvania would give me a chance, not only to broaden my cultural horizons, but also to give something back to a church that has enriched my life over the years."
