Thanks. Interesting reading...
By the end of the sixteenth century, Hungary was 90 percent Protestant, mainly Calvinist in theology and forms of worship. The Counter-Reformation, led by Jesuits and enforced by the Habsburg monarchy and the Hungarian nobility, recovered control for the Roman Catholic Church. More than four hundred Protestant pastors and teachers were imprisoned and tortured until they recanted. Only forty-one refused. These were marched to the Adriatic Sea and sold as galley slaves. From this life of horror they were finally ransomed through the intervention of Holland and Switzerland and given political asylum in those countries.
Which is...?There are a few Hungarian Reformed Churches in Pittsburgh. It is a bit misleading to say they favor "women's ordination" in the sense of the way in which liberal denominations do so. There is a cultural thing going on there that goes way back into old, old Magyar culture.
Was this friend or his parents from Romania or Hungary? The Hungarian Reformed Church is in Romania as well, but they tend to cater their services only to the Hungarian people within Romania (there's quite a history between the two nations and peoples).

I've heard mixed things about the church. For the most part, I heard it is very similar to the mainlines here in the U.S. in terms of trends.
