History

The Reformation had already taken root among the Hungarian population of Transylvania in the fifth decade of the 16th century and Reformed (Calvinist) theology soon became dominant. In 1559, the Synod of Marosvásárhely adopted the Reformed doctrine of the Lord's Supper, and in 1564, at the Synod of Nagyenyed, the Helvetic and Lutheran Reformations diverged. This is the date from which the Transylvanian Reformed Church came into being.
