The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Romania (Romanian: Biserica Evanghelică-Luterană din România; Hungarian: Romániai Evangélikus-Lutheránus Egyház; German: Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche in Rumänien) is a Lutheran denomination in Romania.[1] Many active congregations were founded over 450 years ago,[2] and today the Church has 27,540 members.[3] It is primarily a Hungarian-speaking denomination, with one deanery for Slovak-speaking parishes.[4]
This church is not to be confused with the mainly Saxon, German-speaking Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession.
