		Debrecen (Debreţin in Romanian, 'Debrecín' in Slovak, 'Debreczyn' in Polish) is the second largest city in Hungary after Budapest.
		In 1849 Debrecen was the capital of Hungary for a short time when the Hungarian revolutionary government fled there from Pest-Buda (modern-day Budapest).
		Debrecen also witnessed the end of the war of independence; the battle in which the Russians, the allies of the Habsburgs, defeated the Hungarian army was close to the western part of the town.

	History of the Reformed Church in Hungary
		Our Church was unprepared for the shock of Trianon, which was further aggravated by a torrent of refugees from the successor states, and the economic troubles which were a consequence of the lost war, and was unprepared to heal itself by means of the consolation and encouragement provided in the Scriptures.
		Even if the Hungarian Reformed Church did not servilely support all the endeavours of Hungarian politics in the interwar period, she was not strong enough to avert the consequences of a revisionist policy, the enactment of antisemitism, and the inhuman destruction which followed the German occupation of the country.
		The general wellbeing of the Church was impaired by the suppression of these organisations, and she was unable to provide an opportunity to integrating all the slumbering forces in the nation.

		But the five years of her reign were not sufficient to turn the clock back and, when she died in November 1558, the only heir to the throne was her sister, Elizabeth I, the daughter of Anne Boleyn and the unofficial champion of the reformers.
		The puritans, as they would be known to their critics, did not succeed in changing the formal constitution of the Anglican Church but they did have a powerful role to play in the implantation of a certain brand of Protestant awareness in England under the early Stuarts.
		This was reinforced by the translations of Protestant Bibles and other texts into Magyar so that, by the early 17th century, Magyar Calvinism had established its own Geneva at Debrecen, the centre of one of the more lively Calvinist reformations in Europe.

		Out beyond the Great Plains, in eastern Hungary, close to the borders with the Ukraine and Romania, I stayed in Debrecen, which is the centre of Hungarian Protestantism and is known as the 'Calvinist Rome'.
		Both centres of Calvinism are closely identified with the history of Hungary and its struggle for nationhood: the Diet of 1849, which declared Hungary's secession from the Habsburg empire, met in the Great Church, and the Provisional National Assembly, marking the end of the Nazi occupation of Hungary, met in the Calvinist College in 1944.

		Debrecen gyakran került nehéz helyzetbe földrajzi helyzete miatt és amiatt, hogy nem rendelkezett várral vagy városfallal, és csak a városatyák diplomáciai lavírozása mentette meg.
		Debrecen tanúja volt a szabadságharc bukásának is: a döntő csata, melyben a Habsburg-párti orosz sereg legyőzte a magyar honvédséget, a város nyugati részén zajlott.

		The great ecclesiastic revival in the 16th century changed the nature of the connection between European and Hungarian education.
		The speed at which the religious and educational influence of the Reformation grew, and primarily the spread of public education in the mother tongue and the growing attraction of urban Protestant colleges from the 1530's, prompted the Catholic Church to renew itself too.
		In the so-called Royal Hungary - which was actually under Habsburg rule - the superiority of the Catholic Church led to the persecution of Protestants and the subsequent violent restriction of their religious freedom and the closure of their churches and schools.

		Some of the delegates from national churches realized that their communions were so integrally enmeshed in these new societies, financially, culturally, and historically, that it was difficult for them to extricate themselves and declare their independence.
		The churches caught in these situations are confronted with the necessity of understanding the social situations in which they find themselves and of encountering them as the people of God with a definite identity and commissioned to a specific service to, in, and for the world.
		Church in Hungary has been referred to as the "easternmost bastion of the Reformed faith in Europe." It is the largest Protestant bloc behind the so-called Iron Curtain, numbering three million members.

		The Churches Seeking New Ways of Mission A spiritually devastating ethos, in which elements of rationalism were mixed together with liberal theology in a "quasi-unitarian" theology, prevailed in the Hungarian Protestant churches before the beginning of the 20th century.
		The Church became salt that had lost its savor, due to its accommodation to the unjust society which itself was judged in the apocalyptic events of the last phase of the war.
		A state office for church affairs was organized for the purpose of keeping the church under strict control, to hinder its normal life in whatever way possible, to make it irrelevant, and to push it to the periphery of society before its final extinction.

	Hungary and the limits of Habsburg authority
		We can point to three great waves of reform activity in Austria: first, the religious Counter-Reformation in the 1600s; second, the application of Enlightenment ideas to create an efficient but absolutist state in the 1700s; and third, the efforts at constitutional reform in the 1800s whose failure attends the collapse of the empire.
		The Catholic Church and the Habsburgs were allies, an arrangement dating from the Reformation, the Counter Reformation and the Thirty Years War.
		To strengthen that church, the Habsburgs supported Catholic reform efforts in the 1500s and became allies of the Vatican during the Thirty Years War when Protestant nobles defied Papal religious authority as well as the Habsburg emperors.

		The various churches and denominations each supported (collectively, in the case of the free churches) at least one theological academy or college for the training of clergy.

		Another recent example where significant aspects of the church yielded to accommodation to culture in the face of great evil was the struggle with apartheid in South Africa.

	Reformed church -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer!
		After the great controversy among these churches over the Lord's Supper (after 1529), the followers of Martin Luther began to use the name Lutheran as a specific name, and the name Reformed became associated with the Calvinistic churches (and also for a time with the Church of England).
		Eventually the name Presbyterian, which denotes the form of church polity used by most of the Reformed churches, was adopted by the Calvinistic churches of British background.
		The modern Reformed churches thus trace their origins to the Continental Calvinistic churches that retained the original designation.
