On Thursday, December 12, at 2:00 PM, heritage expert Jelly Bravenboer-Hamstra will present her book Seekers of Light and Bearers of Light at Library School 7. In this book, she tells the story of life in the 20th century, focusing specifically on apostolic people, through interviews and written accounts from 192 individuals.
In Den Helder, the apostolic church building on Sumatrastraat (near the Javastraat park) is a well-known landmark. However, the lives of apostolic people in the past century are much less familiar. This afternoon, their stories will come to light. Special accounts about the origins of the apostolic movement in Den Helder, Christmas celebrations, wartime evacuations, the split in 1946, and the (conscripted) naval servicemen are shared by 50 residents of Den Helder. The stories are brought to life with photos and a short film from 1937.
At the end of the presentation, the book will be available for purchase for €23.90.
Location: Library School 7, Den Helder
