Din perspectiva mea, obstacolul care ne împiedică să căutăm din nou ceea ce considerăm a fi corect pentru fiecare dintre noi reprezintă, în realitate, o altă problemă, mai precis, o atitudine greșită față de nedreptățile comise. Această atitudine poate implica negarea, minimalizarea sau amplificarea gravității infracțiunilor, evitarea asumării responsabilităților sau transferul acestora către alții. O astfel de abordare a păcatului este una dintre cele care pot da naștere la situații foarte complexe și descurajatoare în consilierea pastorală (pastorație). În ceea ce privește cercetarea mea, voi concentra atenția asupra conceptului de speranță în contextul apariției acestor situații și voi căuta sursele valide ale acestei speranțe.

Franz Bos személyét azért választottuk bemutatásra, mert esetében megtalálható a titkos rendőrség munkamódszerének valamennyi eleme: a szigorú határellenőrzéstől a részletes ügynöki jelentéseken, figyelmeztetésen és a több irányú technikai eszközalkalmazáson át egészen a nyomkövetésig.

The second half of the 20th century can be characterised by a consolidation of all state structures of the Communist Party. The most important institution in keeping the power was the Secret Police (Securitate), which exercised a strict control over the Churches, including the Hungarian Reformed Church. The Securitate was mostly interested in the foreign contacts of the church. After the Second World War the Reformed Church has kept its contacts with the Reformed Churches in Hungary, as well as with many other Western European churches from the former West Germany, Holland, Switzerland, etc. The Secret Police’s purpose was to gather as many information as possible about the different contacts, and to control the whole issue.

During the Communist regime, in the sixties of the 20th century, the Protestant Theological Seminary started the student exchange program with churches and institutions from the Western part of Europe, mainly the Dutch Reformed Churches. It was in 1968 when the first Dutch couple came to spend one study year in the Seminary. After them students have been arriving each year until the end of the eighties. Coming from a capitalist, “unfriendly” country, the Dutch students have always been watched at by the Securitate (Secret Police) very carefully. Many informers were recruited from among the Reformed pastors as well as seminary professors to control the whole study process of the foreigners. The documents included into this paper are perfect samples of how the Secret Police usually acted.
