The Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) finds that King Willem-Alexander too little talk about God. “Until now, God is not strongly emerged in his speeches, and that was striking. It would have been nice if his faith had it by riveted, “said PKN chairman Karin van den Broeke in the NRC Handelsblad today.

The church, the state must” remember the Kingdom of God, “says Van den Broeke, and therefore the church must constantly ask what the government wants. “Of the king will also have a certain image. It would have been nice if he had formulated. “In a public space Van den Broeke hopes “that God once more will also appear in his public speeches.”

The Royal in the Netherlands has traditionally Protestant, but there are Catholic members like Queen Máxima. In an interview with Paul Witteman in 1997 Willem-Alexander said: “I’m not very religious, but I am convinced believer.”
