Describes the foundation and development of Hungarian Calvinist (Reformed) congregations in Australia. The story of each congregation reflects the Hungarian immigrants' changing attitudes to their new environment, and the society they left behind, and offers insight into their attempts to maintain a sense of national identity. It highlights challenges affecting the lifespan of congregations including ageing attendees, lack of available qualified pastors and decreasing numbers of new immigrants. It details concentrated efforts by Hungarian Calvinist congregations in Australia to gain or maintain independence from higher church authorities
