Seventy-five persons attended the meeting representing twenty-two congregations from nine states as far west as California. These attendees represented the four major denominations to which our Hungarian Reformed congregations belong, namely, the Calvin Synod of the United Church of Christ, the Hungarian Reformed Church in America, and the Presbyterian Church. The aim of the Association is to unite the Hungarian Reformed Presbyters of America in one organization in order to strengthen the feeling of fraternal unity; to face common problems with a united front, striving to find solutions and plan united actions at the annual conferences; to aid the work of the Hungarian Reformed congregations more effectively; and in general, to endeavor to make the Hungarian Reformed Churches in America better and more efficient instruments for the spreading of the Kingdom of God on earth. During the two day meeting, reports were heard from the attendees regarding activities within their respective congregations. Reports were also presented on coping with stress by Joseph Tegze; the Youth Camp, by Priscilla Hunyady; the Bethlen Home, by Rev. Pal Kovács; the success of the Statue of Liberty Fund Raising effort, by Priscilla Hunyadi; the Mission Committee for South America, by Dr. John Butosi; and the success of the Debrecen Choir Tour, by Mrs. Imre Bertalan. Everyone attending this meeting certainly left well informed regarding the status of the past year’s major activities of the Hungarian Reformed churches.
