Saint Mark H.H. Pope Shenouda III 5 To my blessed two sons: Hegomain Fr. Marcous Elias Abdel Massih and Hegomain Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty. Peace and love be with you. Dr. Mahfouz has visited me and brought with him the suggested Sunday school curriculum for the land of immigration. I have studied with him the basic topics of the curriculum without getting into details. Although that I have pointed out some concerns on the doctrine and dogma curriculum, it is clear that the amount of work spent on preparing the curriculum is huge and worth thanking. Nonetheless, the Bible study part of the curriculum needs to be increased. God willing, I will also send you additional details on this curriculum. May the Lord bless all the effort that our son Mahfouz has done in preparing the Sunday school curriculum, in collecting the relevant topics, and in performing the translation of subjects. May the Lord also bless all those who have joined him in preparing this project and those who revised the topics. Let our goal be performing our best to try and arrive at perfection given what we have from abilities. Lastly, I would also suggest the addition of different recognized pictures according to our doctrine, dogma and history to the Sunday school curriculum. May the Lord be with you. Be in peace.

  • Martelaren in Het Romeinse Rijk, Ii
    MARTELAREN IN HET ROMEINSE RIJK, II Wie zal ons scheiden van de liefde van Christus? Want om uwentwil worden wij den gansen dag gedood; wij zijn geacht als schapen ter slachting. Maar in dit alles zijn wij meer dan overwinnaars door Hem, Die ons heeft lief gehad. Romeinen 8:35-37. VANAF DE TIJD VAN DE TIENDE VERVOLGING 283 TOT 213 Overgenomen uit: Historie der martelaren die, om de getuigenis der evangelische waarheid hun bloed gestort hebben, van Christus onze Zaligmaker af tot het jaar 1655 Door ADRIAAN VAN HAAMSTEDE Predikant te ANTWERPEN En aangevuld met gegevens van: Eusebius, Mollinus, Van Braght, en anderen STICHTING DE GIHONBRON MIDDELBURG Tweede versie 2012 Voorwoord Deze beschrijving van een aantal martelaren die door de Romeinse overheid gedood werden in de eerste drie eeuwen na Christus’ Hemelvaart, is in de eerste plaats ontleend aan het Martelaarsboek van Adriaan van Haamstede. Van Haamstede heeft een aanzienlijk aantal namen genoemd en meestal een korte beschrijving gegeven. Elke naam en de beschrijving die er bij hoort is vergeleken met oude bronnen en nieuwere gegevens. Deze worden in de literatuurlijst vermeldt. Uit deze bronnen zijn veel waardevolle bijzonderheden van de martelaren overgenomen. De toelichtingen die regelmatig als aanvulling op Van Haamstede’s werk voorkomen zijn meestal ontleend aan het Heiligenboek en het Romeins Martelaarsboek. Uit gegevens die op Internet gepubliceerd zijn, zijn vooral de data van personen die in deze bundel voortkomen gecontroleerd met de data bij Van Haamstede, en zo nodig gecorrigeerd. Niemand stote zich aan de beschrijving van wonderen die bij sommige gebeurtenissen plaatsvonden. Betrouwenswaardige schrijvers uit die tijd geven verslagen weer van wonderen die door personen - meest bisschoppen - werden verricht en wonderen die in de Voorzienigheid plaatsvonden.
