This weekend, the Geloof in Mokum series explores Amsterdam’s so-called ‘Golden Age’—a time when faith played a central role in making the city the world’s leader in the 17th century. Spoiler: faith influenced virtually everything. Amsterdam’s rise was rooted in the Reformational worldview embraced during the Alteratie on May 26, 1578. That day, the city’s old Catholic leadership was removed and sent away in boats, marking a dramatic shift in spiritual and civic life.

Líderes religiosos de todo el mundo se reunieron en Ámsterdam la semana pasada para conmemorar los 500 años de su tradición de Iglesia independiente, que comenzó como una minoría perseguida pero ha crecido hasta convertirse en la mayor corriente del cristianismo protestante actual. El punto de partida de este movimiento no fue Ámsterdam, sino un pueblecito llamado Zollikon, a las afueras de Zúrich (Suiza), en 1525.

The first song of the evening takes place at a funeral, with Beetlejuice front and center, and at the end of the number, he makes a quick observation about how he’s loving the crowd applauding at the whole theme of death. Welcome to Beetlejuice the musical, where death is laughed at, cheered, and celebrated, and the audience members wouldn’t have it any other way.

Church leaders from around the world gathered in Amsterdam this week to commemorate 500 years of their Free Church tradition, which began as a persecuted minority but has grown into the largest stream within Protestant Christianity today. The starting point of this movement was not Amsterdam, but rather a little town called Zollikon just outside of Zurich in Switzerland in 1525.

Hoy en día oímos hablar mucho de “hacer grandes las cosas”. Pero, ¿qué es la verdadera grandeza? ¿Cómo reconocemos la grandeza? ¿Cómo sabremos si los que prometen “restaurar la grandeza” han cumplido su promesa? ¿Qué debemos tener en cuenta? Jesús tenía un problema con las expectativas de grandeza de sus discípulos. En Mateo 20, cuando trata de prepararlos para su inminente muerte, no pueden oír lo que dice. No encaja con su idea de un mesías “exitoso”.
