Jos Strengholt

Family

Stephanie Strengholt (b. 1988) is the oldest daughter of Jos and Adrienne Strengholt. She grew up in Egypt, but she returned to our native country, The Netherlands in 2006. There she studies for an MA in Art History at Utrecht University. The photo on the left was made in February 2009, during a visit of Stephanie to Egypt. We went to the Monastery of St Anthony close to the Red Sea.

Here we will make some of her papers available.
Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac and its interpretation on three icons (2009)
Church of the Holy Cross (Santa Croce) in Florence - intro (2009, in Dutch)

Rosemarie Strengholt (b. 1990) is the second daughter; like Stephanie, she grew up in Egypt and she now studies at the same university in Utrecht, Netherlands. She studies for an MA in Television, Theater and Film Sciences. We await her papers :-)

And Justine (b. 1994) is the little one... She is doing her GCSE exams this year. We do not pressure her for papers yet.

And here the whole crowd - mother Adrienne and the three daughters, photographed during a trip to the Monastery of St Anthony at the Red Sea.

Just Chatting

Fresh start

A few weeks ago, I have begun my curacy in the Anglican Cathedral in Cairo. The priest there who takes care of me, is Mike Parker. It is great to be serving in a church with people from many nationalities, like Egyptians, Sudanese, Brits, Americans, people from Myanmar, and more. This weekend I will preach on Jeremiah and his call to be a prophet.

Dutch blog for cloggies

If you happen to know the glorious Dutch language, you may be interested to follow my musings on my main blog. Any brainwave seems to pass that blog, so be warned. This website where you presently are, contains my longer (more lasting) writings. My blog is a bit eh... well... less permanent shall we say? KLIK HIER

Surat al-Fatiha

Under 'studies' I have placed some self-study I am doing in the Qur'an - just a feeble beginning. Have a look and let me know my mistakes ;-)

Coptic Studies

Under the Studies button, you can find some lectures I have recently (February- March 2008) held in our church here in Maadi (Egypt). I will probably continue to work on them as I happen to be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to historical truth and the shape of documents. Oh, if only I had been a native English speaker. I hope you enjoy these and the other papers of mine that will slowly appear here.
