Who we are

The history of the Anglican Church in the Netherlands dates back to 1585 when a chaplain served in the Hague. Mission churches were established in the 17th century in Rotterdam, Utrecht, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Amsterdam and Haarlem. More recently new churches were established in Voorschoten, Heiloo, Maastricht, Amsterdam South and Zuidoost, Groningen and Amersfoort. Each Anglican church is different, and our congregations have people from many different countries. We are part of God’s one holy catholic and apostolic church, and our unity is demonstrated by our Bishop, our liturgy and our synodical structures which involve laity and clergy together in our mission. |
