Hungarian churches warn of social collapse amid financial crisis
Hungarian church leaders have warned their country faces violence and breakdown in the face of unemployment and dislocation brought by the current financial meltdown, reports Ecumenical News International.
"We were already in bad shape before this global crisis, and we are now affected more deeply than other countries in our region," explained the Rev. Balazs Odor, ecumenical officer of the Reformed Church in Hungary, which comprises about one fifth of the country's 9.9 million citizens.
