Pieter Versloot was a missionary in central-Asia, worked at the national offices of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, and now is pastor of the Martini Church in Groningen, a church at the center of a small, Medieval city in the north of the Netherlands. In this traditionally-minded Protestant community he re-introduced the confessional as a means for missional outreach to a largely secular city. His church also makes its presence known through a “Trace of light,” a regular event in which the shopping public in the Groningen inner city is drawn into the church building through a path of candles, while organ music, more candles, and the possibility for conversation awaits them inside. With Pieter we talk about reclaiming traditional liturgical rituals for the sake of missional engagement.
