After World War I, the Hungarian Reformed Church had to redefine her identity and
find the ways of her survival and renewal. This process began in the
19th century already, mainly in the sphere of different associations. The inner mission
wanted to change the church model from folk church to confessional
church, and tried to revitalize not only the church, but also the lives of the church
members according to the gospel of Christ. The Pécel Circle fits into this line of
movements. This study explores the personal, mental and spiritual connections between
the Pécel Circle and the main Protestant associations and movements.
