In the 19th century, the Awakening ("le Réveil") and other religious movements influenced the French and European Reformed churches; this was also accompanied by division within French Protestantism. In 1871 the Reformed congregations in German-annexed Alsace and the newly formed "Bezirk Lothringen" of Lorraine were separated from the Reformed Church in what remained of France. The consistorial districts of the conquered territories then formed the still existing Protestant Reformed Church of Alsace and Lorraine (EPRAL). At the time of the promulgation of the Separation of Church and State in 1905, which did away with the "établissements publics du culte" (religious statutory corporations) leaving the status of a religious association, there were no less than four groupings of the Reformed Church: the Evangelical Reformed Churches ("les Églises réformées évangéliques"), the United Reformed Churches ("les Églises réformées unies"), the Free Reformed Churches ("les Églises réformées libres"), and the Methodist Church ("l'Église méthodiste").
