Hollanda Süryani Ortodoks Kilisesi'nin Oluşumu ve Süryanilerin Adaptasyonu
Description
Since the 1960s, the Syriacs immigration from Turkey to various European countries has occurred. One of these countries was the Netherlands. Indeed, the first Syriac Orthodox Church (Apostel Johannes Kerk) and metropolitan center (Mor Efrem Klooster) in Europe were also established in this country. In the following years, new churches were established according to the need and this process still continues. Currently, Syriacs have a monastery, more than ten churches, a cemetery and various non-governmental organizations in the Netherlands.
In this study, The Syriac Orthodox Church Metropolitan Center in the Netherlands and the surrounding buildings, the establishment process and function of the churches and the purpose of these structures are examined. The Syriac Catholic, Chaldean and Nesturi Churches were not included in the study and it is limited to the Syriac Orthodox Church.
The data obtained are based on magazines, books and face-to-face interviews published by the Syriac community.
For Syriacs in the diaspora, churches are more than a center of worship. Churches functioned to protect their religious and ethnic identity for them, as the socialization environment of the community, as the place of the clergy, as an institution where children were educated to continue the tradition that religion brought with it. The church also played an important role in the adaptation of Syriacs to the Netherlands.
