Reformed Christian Church in Serbia Announces Béla Halász as new Bishop
2013. március 11., hétfőWord has finally arrived from the Reformed Christian Church in Serbia on the church's tumultuous bishop election. The final appeal period officially ended today, and as of Friday no appeals had been received.
At the latest Synod Council meeting, the Council reportedly repealed the previous result eradication that occurred on 23 February and discussed the bishop installation of Béla Halász, who acting bishop Erzsébet Csanyi referred to as the "elected bishop." The only question that remains for the church now is whether or not it can call together a meeting of the RCCS' general Synod anytime in near future to discuss the reasons for and effects of the election's significant deterioration.
