The Free University in Amsterdam is very close to starting the first Dutch Bachelor - Masters degree to imam. The University in Leiden also is busy with setting up a Masters degree.

There are now at least three schools, of which two academic universities, which provide a course to become a qualified imam in the Netherlands. This is a direct effect of the 2004 murder on film-maker Theo van Gogh, which resulted in a 2008 decision that only imams educated in the Netherlands can operate.

Re: Homegrown imam (none / 0)

Are Theology degrees as important in the Netherlands as they are in Germany, for the Christian priesthood?

Probably (none / 0)

Can't speak for the Catholic church, but for the two largest Calvinist groups (both in English called Reformed, but with a moderate and an orthodox flank) theology degrees are a necessity before becoming a priest in the Netherlands.

Re: Probably (none / 0)
