The spread of the coronavirus pandemic took its toll on all areas of life, and we can safely say that it has fundamentally altered education, too, throughout the globe. Teachers around the world exhibited a wide array of responses to the changed situation, some of them having no real problem with the transition to online teaching, while the majority of them having suffered a considerable loss of faith concerning their effectiveness as teachers when coming up against the changed environment and the new challenges. Most teachers of religion were experiencing a sense of lack due to the enforced suspension of the day-to-day interpersonal relationships, considering that personal encounters have a particular relevance to religion as a subject on account of its pastoral care and spiritual aspects. Teachers did not only have to struggle with the new challenges emerging in their working environment, with problems around ensuring an appropriate technological background, or with the transformation of the existent teaching material for online use, but the adoption of a successful coping in a situation never dealt with before could be affected by certain (psychological) factors running much deeper such as their faith/beliefs, while the reasons for coming to a deadlock can often be traced back to the issues of professional identity, (sense of) mission, or religious spirituality. The present study points out that (self-)reflection increases teachers’ efficiency and productiveness, and it is the author’s belief that conscious reflection can seriously add to teachers’ professional fulfilment during the crisis situation created by the virus, when online teaching methods have to be adopted, since reflection can put intrinsic motivation to work, as a result of which teachers can set a course to their own development. Further, we will present a reflection model that provides a content framework for reflection and wherein there is a possibility for a deeper-level reflection as well, thus going beyond the aspects of environment, behaviour, and views and reaching the levels of professional identity, mission, and religious spirituality.

This study provides a theological reflection on suffering by identifying various conditions caused by the COVID-19 and post-COVID syndrome. A distinction is to be made between fear and symptoms on the one hand and anxiety and suffering on the other. Fear and symptoms potentially cause anxiety, and suffering thus creates existentially defined states wherein our faith and spirituality are highly significant. Different approaches are adopted in this paper: the problem-focused and emotion-focused approach, as explained by Lazarus and Folkman, and the religious coping methods and styles of Kenneth I. Pargament. The collaborative coping style (researched by Pargament) is not just the most effective approach, but it is one of the potential ways of inner spiritual growing. In order to find answers regarding suffering and anxiety, we have to meet Jesus and follow him on his descending path (repentance, humility, obedience – via purgativa), make reconciliation (via iluminativa), and receive the new creation (via unitiva). Congregations can search these ways together so that faith communities might gain strength and find possibilities in pastoral and spiritual care during the time of COVID-19.

The topic of this paper is in line with the conference, which aims to bring together responses to crisis situations. The adjectives “old and new” in the title suggest that the impulses to move forward presented in the article come from different periods and that the questioning spans several eras. The point of departure and the basic text is Sándor Makkai’s 1931 book, Magunk revíziója (The Revision of Ourselves), followed in chronological order by Sándor Karácsony’s Ocsúdó magyarság (Awakening Hungarians), first published in 1942, and, finally, Eva Edith Eger’s book Decision, which was a bestseller for a few years. The first two authors, a Reformed theologian and a professor of pedagogy, seek a way out for Hungarians struggling with the crisis of minority fate and a mutilated country, while the third one, a Hungarian-born American psychologist who survived Auschwitz, uses the example of herself and her patients to show the universal possibility of moving on. Old and new reflections converge in the fact that when we examine the events of the past, it only makes sense to look in the mirror, to acknowledge and admit our own mistakes and errors because this gives us a chance to eliminate them, to overcome harmful habits. The past can be a deceptive mirage, and it can also enslave the retrospective, so it is worth considering the wise realization that we should not be enslaved by the actions of others, the movers of events independent of us, because they can pull us down like seaweed, paralyse us, plunge us into self-pity, perpetual victimhood, or the vortex of revenge. The secret of moving forward is to look to the future after self-examination, to seek the near and distant goals to which every small step, every task done with good cheer brings the pure-hearted, morally strengthened man – reconciled to God and man – closer. The survivors and those who move on are people of prospectivity, of diligent future building, rather than of a barren retrospective.

The Relationship of the Catholic Youth Movement of Agricultural Workers (KALOT) with the Reformed Church. The Catholic Youth Movement of Agricultural Workers (KALOT) was established in 1935 owing to the initiatives of Jesuit father Jenő Kerkai. In a couple of years, it became the most successful Catholic corporative movement in Hungary with 500,000 members. KALOT was engaged in the Hungarian social question and struggled for an agrarian reform policy. During World War II, its members and leadership also took part in the illegal, anti-fascist resistance movement. In 1945, KALOT started its post-war reorganization, but among the new political circumstances, it fought for its survival in vain: in 1946, it was banned by the communist Ministry of the Interior. The study examines KALOT’s relationship with the exponents of the Reformed Church and its movements.
