Summary/Abstract: The subject of the present article is the Warsaw Parish of Evangelical Reformed Church of Wilno between 1933 and 1939. This institution was created as a result of bad relations between the two Reformed Consistory in the Independent Poland. Although it was declared very active, this institution did not build its own church and organize a cemetery, which made it dependent on the help of other parishes. In publications about the history of Warsaw, it was in vain to seek information about this parish. Limited data is given by scientific literature showing the history of Polish Protestantism, especially about the Wilno Brethren in the interwar period. The study of this issue, probably not perfect and opening the field for further research, was possible thanks to the rich archives in Wilno.
