At first glance, the situation seems simple since it is not customary in Reformed churches to have the decoration typical of Catholic churches, so it is not surprising that the minister removed it. Yet the situation is not clear-cut because we do not know why it had not bothered anyone in the two hundred years since the Reformation began. In our study, we describe – through the example of the statue destruction in Vadász – what Reformed identity was like in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 18th century. In our analysis, we find that the development of Reformed conscience was delayed compared to the western half of Europe. The same is demonstrated in the 18th-century Reformed Church history writings, as the events of the Reformation had not been put on paper in most congregations up until then. Most congregational histories are based on oral traditions, with little historical literature being used to support them.

In parallel with the process of reorganization of the Transylvanian Reformed Diocese, some significant changes took place around the bishop’s office. The first change was around the bishop’s residence. From 1782, the bishop’s permanent residence was in Nagyenyed, in a building donated by Zsuzsánna Thoroczkay for this purpose. Since from then on the bishop was the first priest of the parish of Nagyenyed, there was a question as to the source of his salary. No income was offered by the diocese for the bishop’s first priestly position. After a lengthy discussion, the General Consistory of the Transylvanian Reformed Diocese appointed the College of Nagyenyed to contribute Ft 300 to the salary of the first bishop of Enyed. The bishop, however, was not willing to give up his regular priestly position in another parish for this stipulated salary. Zsigmond Eperjesi was the first bishop to move from Felvinc to the new bishop’s residence in 1784, but only on the condition that he was paid a full teacher’s salary. The archives of the Enyed College were destroyed in 1849, and so we do not know exactly when and how the agreement was made according to which the bishop would receive approximately one teacher’s salary from the public treasury of the college during his time in Enyed. Bishop János Antal also lived in Enyed until 1849. In November 1849, Bishop János Antal, who was already very weak, fled to Târgu-Mureș as a result of the revolutionary events, and the bishop’s residence in Nagyenyed fell into disrepair and became uninhabitable. From 1852, Samuel Bodola took over the bishop’s duties, initially from Târgu-Mureș, and from 1854 from Cluj-Napoca. In this study, we follow up the adverse circumstances and controversies that had led to the construction of a permanent episcopal residence in the 1890s, also in Cluj-Napoca, in parallel with the construction of the building of the Faculty of Theology in Cluj, which was to be the bishop’s residence.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty in his Phenomenology of Perception observes the way that beings are dynamically interconnected: “I discover in that other body a miraculous prolongation of my own intentions… As the parts of my body together comprise one system, so my body and the other person’s are one whole.” What Merleau-Ponty calls to our attention here is the embodied and relational way that we are related to others and the world around us. Based upon Merleau-Ponty’s observation of the relational dimension of embodiment, this study is to analyse and evaluate on relationality, which – as we would argue along with social ethicists Cahill and Kittay – is one of the most important anthropological principles for a better-embodied care today. Methods. The study is based on 1) a comparative analysis, which shows the differences and points of contact between Cahill and Kittay on the relational dimension of embodiment, and 2) a critical analysis, which made it possible to identify the shortcomings and advantages in the arguments of the above-mentioned ethicists. Results. The author analysed Merleau-Ponty’s observation of the relational dimension of embodiment in relation to their theories of relationality and ethics. In this way, the specific liberal views of these American philosophers on such issues as relationality, and the values of the embodied care were explicated. Conclusion. Based on Cahill’s and Kittay’s analyses of relationality, influenced by Merleau-Ponty, the contribution of this paper lies in the following observations: 1) we are all relational human persons, based on our nested dependencies; care and attention to the vulnerabilities of dependent persons by the dependency worker and communal trust creates a network of multiple interdependencies that form the central bonds of human social life; 2) the connection between two individuals is an ethical and social relation that not only facilitates but becomes the experience; 3) a well-ordered society where all persons are equal must care and cannot unfairly exploit the disabled, the children, the old, or anyone based upon gender, race, ethnicity, age, or class status and must offer adequate support to dependents and those who care for them in relations of dependency; 4) relational or community participation is essential for human existence and sharing the good life. One way to do so is to get personally engaged to care or to pay attention to those who need us and are dependent on us. The more dependency we have in our life, the more independent we are!

In the community of Reformed institutions, children’s growth is accompanied by educators whose mission is a call from God, in the spirit of which they seek to convey the word of the Bible to children.

Reformed colleges play a special role in this and build on significant historical traditions, and see nurturing talent as a process of complex personal development.

Zima as follows: The family, as a victim of society as an alienating structure, becomes itself an alienating structure, which makes it impossible to establish intimate and supportive relationships between family members and the future of the family. The family therefore fails to fulfil its original role of being a place of embeddedness and a resource for society. It is also hampered by transgressions while hindering the search for fairness towards each other. Pastoral care can help families to recognize the essence of guilt and then seek effective resources of help. The paper, therefore, highlights the fundamental relational nature of human existence and the existential nature of guilt through philosophical, theological, and biblical anthropology (1). It then highlights the importance of the notion of existential guilt in contextual perspectives, therapy, and pastoral care (2). Finally, following a theological interpretation of the concept of guilt, it identifies in four points the areas in which the use of the concept of existential guilt in pastoral care is helpful (3).

With Particular Focus on Albert Kovács’s Influence upon the Teaching of Homiletics in the Early 20th Century in Kolozsvár/Cluj-Napoca.

After the sudden death of Albert Molnár (1849–1901), Lecturer of Practical Theology at the Theological Seminary in Kolozsvár (1895–1901), Béla Kenessey (1858–1918) continued his work (1901–1907).

In this paper, I attempt to demonstrate the influence of Albert Kovács by identifying Kenessey’s homiletical notes (1902) in the Manuscript Collection of the Theological Institute in Kolozsvár, by using an early (1909), handwritten version of László Ravasz’s homiletical handbook (1915) from the inheritance of his disciple Sándor Tavaszy (1888–1952).
