In this episode we remain in Amsterdam, but this time focus on the work of church planting in such a highly secular context. David van der Meulen, also known as “dominee David’ (pastor David) or “the millennium pastor” (dubbed as such by a secular newspaper in Amsterdam) focuses his ministry on post-Christian successful millennials, who have no interest whatsoever in anything like religious faith. He tells about the “Master Classes” in which he has specialists address topics of concern for highly educated urban young adults and discussion groups in which believers and unbelievers read Scripture together. In his ministry he is inspired by the idea of the “court of the gentiles”: how do we created a sanctuary-adjacent space where those with religious faith and those without it might meet?
