Scriba Kees van Ekris and preses Trijnie Bouw dey share observations and thoughts about church work for one letter series. One of di letters focus on Actie Onderdak, one action wey broad coalition of 19 churches for di country dey do under Raad van Kerken.
Di coalition dey offer temporary shelter to statushouders through local churches. Di letter call am gesture of mercy and hospitality for people wey dey find shelter, and e urge readers to join. Di writer talk say church no suppose stand as spectator.
Di letter describe wetin dey happen for Ter Apel: people dey lie for grass or mud, and di pictures dey pain eyes. E also talk about reports say thousands of statushouders dey stuck inside azc because no house dey and no flow. Around villages and towns, di letter talk about dark scenes: police helicopter for air, grim mood for town, intimidation of municipal council members, and smell of violence. Sometimes flags dey carry hate images and people dey chant rot-op texts.
Di letter talk say dem call colleagues and get video of procession with coffins and torches in front of one location for village where refugees suppose come. E call di images macabre and say dem show contrast between hospitality and mercy. Local church people complain say di matter dey overwhelm dem, dem dey confused, and dem no know wetin to do. Dem talk say dem understand something of di complexity of di issues, and sometimes political negligence dey inside.
