ALC/ENI, UTRECHT, February 6, 2007

The British monarch Queen Elizabeth II has paid a rare visit to the Netherlands to Taxi Heathrow Airport mark the 400th anniversary of Amsterdam's English Reformed Church, which says it is the oldest English-language congregation outside Britain.

"The English Reformed Church in Amsterdam is a model of how the church as a whole should be. An open and welcoming community, a living sign of hope for the future of mankind in the context of a world which is increasingly becoming a global village," said the general secretary of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, Bas Plaisier.
