Békéscsaba: Evangelical-Lutheran Church

Opening ceremony of the Synod in 1934

 

The Constitution of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hungary was drawn up by the Synod of 1891-94.

At present, we have 320 parishes with the ministration of 300 pastors. The 16 seniorates are chaired by senior clergymen and lay superintendents. A clergyman and a lay superintendent also govern the congregations. We have two church districts the Northern District with Bishop Imre Szebik and Lay Superintendent Ferenc Farkasházi an economist at its head, and the Southern District with Bishop D. Dr. Béla Harmati and Lay Superintendent Dr. Jenő Sólyom, a professor. The national superintendent is presently Professor Dr. Róbert Frenkl who together with the two bishops form the presidency of the Church.

The senior bishop is now D. Dr. Béla Harmati who is the Church's presiding bishop.
