The Reformed Church in Hungary (Hungarian: Magyarországi Református Egyház, MRE, pronounced[ˈmɒɟɒrorsaːgiˈrɛformaːtuʃˈɛɟhaːz]) is the largest Protestant church in Hungary, with parishes also among the Hungarian diaspora abroad. It is made up of 1,249 congregations in 27 presbyteries and four church districts and has a membership of over 1.6 million, making it the second largest church in Hungary, behind the Catholic Church. As a Continental Reformed church, its doctrines and practices reflect a Calvinist theology, for which the Hungarian term is református (pronounced[ˈrɛformaːtuʃ]).
The Hungarian Reformed Church became the symbol of national Hungarian culture, since it gave way to the translation of the Bible into the Hungarian language and contributed to the education of the population through its school system.[2]
