Peter Gillies is a member of the Taskforce for an Anglican Church in Amersfoort, better known as TACA. He will be providing updates on the progress with new church plant in Amersfoort. This is his contribution for November. The Rev William Archibald Spooner, Warden of New College Oxford, was especially likely to make this sort of malapropism (the title above should read: “The Lord is a loving Shepherd”). And so it is with TACA (Taskforce…
The USRK (Utrechtse Stedelijke Raad van Kerken), the largest Christian Ecumenical organization in Utrecht, has been discussing the recent Refugee crisis and blessing for Utrecht and wondering about possible responses by the churches.
