2 CALVIN SYNOD HERALD THE RIGHT REVEREND BISHOP ÁRPÁD L. BERETZ 7520 Wocdmar Avenue Hammond, Ind. 46323 Tel.: 219-844-E6E2 Appreciation We express our sincere appreciation to the Reverend Aaron Elek, Deputy Bishop, for his work in administering the affairs of Synod while the Bishop was on vacation in July and August. Also our thanks to him for correcting a misleading inference regarding our Calvin Synod in the “Eros Var’’ (April 1972) a Hungarian publication of our Lutheran brethren. New York Calls Pastor Our New York congregation on August 20, 1972 tendered an almost unanimous call (one dissenting vote) to the Reverend Julius Nagy of Montreal, Canada. The Rev. Joseph Kecskemethy, Synod Council member, was the presiding minister for the congregational meeting. Our Synodical Council wishes to express its deep appreciation to the Rev. Dr. John Butosi, former president of Synod, for his willingness to act as administrator for over a year to the New York congregation. His patience, his honesty, and his teaching were a real contribution to the solution of this difficult matter. Also a word of commendation to the officers and consistory of our New York church for their loyalty to their people and to our Synod. We hope and pray that now a period of quiet growth and work will come to our New York people under the guidance of their new pastor. Official Communications Congregations Our Johnstown, Pa. is in the process of calling a pastor. The Rev. Aaron Elek, Deputy Bishop is the administrator. The Rev. Dr. George Csia, pastor of our Pittsburgh church, has agreed to supply our Morgantown, West Virginia congregation. The Rev. Nicholas Varkonyi, pastor of our Miami, Florida church, has indicated his desire to resign from his post. The Rev. Joseph Kecskemethy was appointed by the Bishop to consult with our Miami church regarding their future. Pastor and Congregation Join Synod On Sept. 6, 1972 the Synodical Council meeting in Ligonier, Pa. voted to accept the Hungarian Church of the Reformation, Miami, Florida, and their pastor the Reverend John Nagy, as members of the Calvin Synod Conference of the United Church of Christ. It is our hope that this new relationship will be mutually fruitful and satisfactory to all concerned. MISSIONARY ARRIVES The Rev. Imre Sabo, our missionary in Argentina, arrived in the United States in August. He will begin his pastoral duties in Windsor, Canada in early September. Vacancy in Argentina Owing to the resignation of the Rev. Imre Szabó, our church in Argentina is without a pastor. Interested ministers should contact the church for further information.
