MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 11 YOUTH NEWS EASTERN AREA YOUTH FEDERATION What is the Ecumenical Movement? How does it appear in the life of the Protestant Churches? Is the work in and through the World Council of Churches the only expression of it? How does the Ecumenical Move­ment affect the Roman Catholic Church today? These were among the questions discussed by the Quar­terly Conference of the Eastern Area Youth Federation on Staten Island, October 18. The theme was presented by Dr. Aladár Komjáthy, the group discussions were led by Charlotte Kosa, Nancy Szabó and Roger Bodnar. The Conference also • heard area president Walt Ka­­tona’s report; • by unanimous vote admitted the Youth Fellowship of the New Brunswick (Somerset St.) Hun­garian Reformed Church to full membership in the Federation; • made plans for the next Con­ference to be held in January in New Brunswick. A group from the Passaic Church was welcomed as guests. Some lively dialogues followed the meeting — around the dinner table and on the dance-floor . . .

CARTERET At the Annual Dinner on October 31 two new pastors of the area, Dr. Nicholas Nyáry from Staten Island and the Rev. Barna Rőczey from Roebling were introduced. U.S. Army Chaplain Major Ernst Kosa was asked to speak on the program of pastoral care for men in the service. The foundation of the Free Magyar Reformed Church in America 40 years ago was gratefully remembered. The Carteret Church has been a member of this denomination since the very beginning thus joining the group of Hungarian Reformed con­gregations in America who decided to live their church life faithful to their old country traditions and free from outside admnistration or finan­cial assistance. The reroofing of the church build­ing has been completed. The next project to be finished before the end of the year will be a major renova­tion job on the two-family dwelling house of the church.
