The Amsterdam Adventure Book

Update

From the archive: a temple in a former bicycle garage

The early Amsterdam community did not begin in a purpose-built temple. The supplied chapter materials describe a former bicycle-storage garage at Bethaniënstraat 39 that became a place of worship and communal life.

The chapter teasers follow the practical work behind that change: finding space, carrying supplies into the city, preparing the altar and making room for an expanding community.

Explore the chapter previews for the fuller account, and consult the timeline for the main milestones.
