Problems Arising from Withholding Information in the Practice of the Reformed Church in the South-Eastern Part of the Hungarian Kingdom at the Turn of the 18th and the 19th Centuries

Summary/Abstract: The study investigates the church administration of the Békés Reformed Church Diocese located in the south eastern region of the Hungarian Kingdom. The diocese had the size of the territory of Belgium, since its borders extended from the region of the Kőrös rivers to the Lower Danube. However, this vast territory had only 30 parishes. The examined period is from 1791 to 1821, because numerous sources survived in the period between the synod of Buda (1791) and the reforming of the diocese (1821) which report on the controlling of information. Therefore, I examine how the information of church administration reached their respective addressees and how the further dissemination of information was impeded.
