ACTIVITY

10. Policy plan

The national policy plan is to be found at the website of the Archdeaconry www.anglican.nl ; the local policy follows here:

We are a friendly international Anglican church with members from more than 40 countries and many Christian denominations. About 1/3 of our members are Dutch although all services are conducted in English. Our worship ranges from traditional to more contemporary and informal in style.

The Chaplaincy may have paid staff and other workers, and also may compensate volunteer workers for their activities to the maximum allowable annual amount.

11. Objectives

In addition to support the policy plan, we support a number of mission projects, both in the Netherlands and overseas. We have long established links with many of these. We support the local foodbank on a regular basis.

12. Activities report

At its 2023 annual meeting, held on 27 May 2023, the annual reports were presented looking back over 2022. Many activities were reported showing the large involvement of our congregation after COVID-19 including an increased number of children in junior church. In addition to our regular appeals at Lent, Harvest and Advent, members of the congregation are regularly involved in the local Straatpastoraat, providing meals and other support to the homeless.
