GENERAL COMMENTS
This is a Dutch translation of the original version published in Arabic in 2021. The translation was published to commemorate and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Coptic Diocese of the Netherlands and Anba Arseny's consecration as bishop. Bishop Arseny writes that the book is not necessarily a historical guide or documentation about the Coptic Church in the Netherlands, but more of a testimony that the first generation Dutch Copts tell and leave for the future generations of the community.
