Portrait of Reverend Gabor Ivanyi, The Hungarian Martin Luther King - 11/04/2010 - - Portrait of Reverend Gabor Ivanyi, The Hungarian Martin Luther King - Portrait of Reverend Gabor Ivanyi, The Hungarian Martin Luther King - Meet the Reverend Gabor Ivanyi home, - on the outskirts of Budapest in the Evangelical church of which he is the shepherd. - After the mass. - - Gabor Ivanyi's words - - In the 1970's the Hungarian Methodist Church split in 2 parts: for political reasons a group of people (and 12 pastors) were excluded of the church. This group, after 7 and ½ years of illegality was recognized as Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship (us). - Because of that (while being chased from our houses, taken before the court, etc.) in the 70's-80's for 4 and 1/2 years we had church services ont he street, my children had Sunday school in a park in the neighborhood. - Now, the Methodist Church was recognized again, plus they got a certification of an International Methodist Organization that we are not real Methodists. Although our doctrines are the same. Buti t is true that we are not subjugate to any organization like that and were always free to have a dialogue with our Jewish brothers. (Our sins towards Jewish people - contrary to France and Germany - were never repented.) - Political elit is embarrassed and disturbed by the topics we are interested in: the poor, needy, homeless, Jews, Gipsies, etc. We always fighted for them under every government. - Since the 70's (when it was still illegal) we have been working with the poor all over the country. - In 1981 finally our church was recognized by the state. - Since 1989 we do our social work legally through Oltalom Charity Society as well. - In 1987 we formed John Wesley Theological College - as our people were not welcome at other theologies - and when it was officially registered in 1991 we already had a class finishing. - Since 1993 we have secular education as well for 1000-1500 students: Social Work
