ITEMS OF INTEREST

“RENEWED CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN-HUNGARIAN REFORMED CHURCHES . .

This was the induced spirit of the 20th Annual Conference of the American-Hungarian Reformed Presbyters’ Association held on Labor Day weekend, September 5th and 6th, 1965, in Ligonier, Pa. The momentum of this spirit was so great, so real and so much alive, that it swept through all the remaining meetings in Ligonier for the rest of the week.

Confidence, cooperation and togetherness echoed from every corner, terminating in the adoption of the six-point resolution recommended by the Eastern Section meeting held on August 21, 1965, and presented to the National Conference by the Vice-President (for the Eastern Section) John C. Nemesnyik.

RESOLUTION

1. We profess our unshakeable faith in the Hungarian Reformed tradition and heritage to the extent that we should endeavor to retain it and share it with others in our community.

2. The Hungarian Reformed Presbyters’ Association should commission the writing of a paper on “Our Hungarian Reformed Tradition and Heritage”.

3. We should endeavor to inculcate a greater spirit of cooperation and communication amongst all Churches of Hungarian Reformed background.

4. We feel that organic union of Hungarian Reformed Churches is necessary in order to maintain our heritage and to render greater service and contribution in the future. Therefore, we recommend that laymen and ministers unite in an all-out effort to make organic union a reality in the near future.
