摘要：The Reformed Religion was brought into Transylvania in 1550 and swiftly adopted by a part of the Hungarian nobility and the urban patriciate. In the inter war period, after the Greater Union of all the Romanian Provinces on December 1, 1918 the Reformed Church had two Episcopates: the Episcopate of Transylvania and 'Piatra Craiului' Episcopate. Major changes in the numerical evolution and territorial distribution of the Reformed Transylvanian populations were the following: a) a decrease from 497,861 faithful in 1930 to 476,481 in 2002 due to negative birth rates after 1990 – which is not specific to this confessional group alone, but to most religious communities, and emigration to Central and West European countries; b) changes in the distribution of the Calvinist believers by habitat, from 21 % in the town area of 1930 to some 53 % in the urban of 2002.
