Dutch church probe decides 'atheist' pastor won't face discipline
Pastor Klaas Hendrikse, Zierikzee is allowed to continue working as a pastor
A special assembly of Zierikzee, a regional church body tasked with investigating the theological statements of Pastor Klaas Hendrikse, has said its work is, "completed". The 3 February decision to allow Hendrikse to continue working as a pastor followed the advice of a regional supervisory panel that the statements by Hendrikse, "are not of sufficient weight to damage the foundations of the church".

Recently a lot has been written about Rev. Hendrikse. The classical assembly of Zierikzee of the Protestant Church has decided not to start a disciplinary procedure against Rev. Hendrikse because of this conceptions. Meanwhile a lot of comment has been given on this decision. Therefore I want to clarify a number of things.
