GYONGYOSY, VICE PRESIDENT, CENTRAL DISTRICT OF THE AMERICAN HUNGARIAN REFORMED PRESBYTERS’ ASSOCIATION AT THE 41ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 6, 1987, LIGONIER, PA.

Not many members of American churches in the Central District can say their grandparents or parents were also members of the church they attend.
