Netherlands: New Evangelical Lutheran Web Site Online
A new Evangelical Lutheran Web site www.evangelisch-luthers.nl is online in the Netherlands. The initiative was taken in mid-June by the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PCN) in order to keep the Lutheran tradition alive in the PCN.The Web site provides information about the PCN, and news and views from Lutheran congregations in Dutch. Some of the background information is provided in English.
The PCN is the result of a May 2004 merger between three churches of the Reformation in the Netherlands: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Reformed Church and the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands.
Around 15,000 of the 2.5 million PCN members are Lutherans, and an advisory Lutheran synod was retained after the union. Rev. Ilona Fritz is president of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. (145 words)
