More than twenty churches in Overijssel closed, Broekland wants this with the building

Roy de Witte is frustrated that the parish council is not cooperating in the eyes of Guldemond. The deputy has long believed that church boards should return their church buildings to the community. “In Overijssel we now know more than twenty churches that are withdrawn from worship. What is very powerful is that the village communities are taking the initiative to preserve the churches and give them a new function,” he says.
