TheProtestant Theological Institute (Romanian:Institutul Teologic Protestant;Hungarian:Protestáns Teológiai Intézet;German:Protestantisch-Theologisches Institut) is aProtestantseminary andprivate university inCluj-Napoca,Romania. The state-recognized institution trains ministers for four separate Protestant denominations:Calvinism (theReformed Church in Romania),Lutheranism (the majority-HungarianEvangelical Lutheran Church, the majority-SaxonEvangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession), andUnitarianism (theUnitarian Church of Transylvania).
The Protestant Institute is coordinated by five bishoprics: one Unitarian and two Lutheran, together with theReformed Diocese of Királyhágómellék and theReformed Diocese of Transylvania. Its Cluj-Napoca center houses two branches — the Reformed-Evangelical Faculty (offering training for members of the Reformed Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church), and the Unitarian Faculty. In addition to these, the Institute includes a Saxon-Evangelical Faculty, which is based inSibiu and is maintained by the Evangelical Church of Augustan Confession.
The institute was founded in 1948, uniting the Cluj-based Reformed Theological College and the Unitarian Theological Academy as two faculties, as well as being the first local seminary for Lutherans. It has a claim to being the sole Protestant theological institution to teach in two languages (Hungarian and German) and to have two separate local sections.
