GENERAL COMMENTS
This book resulted from a thesis (Sociale Akademie POKWA Amsterdam) and discusses the history of the Syriac Orthodox Church from its origins to the present day, its twentieth-century history in Eastern Turkey and in Istanbul, and the history of the community in the Netherlands, which after a period of mostly individual men coming as ‘guest workers’ moved to refugee families from 1976 onwards. Its first leader was priest Hanna Ibrahim (the later bishop of Aleppo) who oversaw the acquisition of the first church building in Hengelo in 1977. In 1979, Bishop Julius Çiçek was consecrated. It includes important documentation on the occupation of the St. Jan Cathedral in Den Bosch (April 1979) to pressure the government into handing out permanent residence permits.
