View of the church from the quiet room - Photography Wilke Geurds
For many volunteers, including Truus and Kees, it is important that the church is open for as long as possible throughout the day: “Preferably a few hours of the day”. The church has, through this quiet room, gained an extra “function”, namely allowing people the opportunity to “physically and spiritually coming to rest in this calming church” (figure 1).
The quiet room was erected in 1996 and, slowly but surely, grew into what it is nowadays. With the support of other community members, it has offered its visitors a place to seek (religious) support, light a candle, read words of comfort, and to come together.
