Geschiedenis van Mar Benyamin Parochie, Zeist
His Grace Mar Dinkha, then the Bishop of Iran, arrived in England in the summer of 1967. He celebrated only the second Qurbana Qadisha in Great Britain in ten years. He also visited the Assyrian community in Slade Green, Kent, as the first Bishop to do so.
On 17th October 1976, His Grace Mar Dinkha was consecrated Catholicos Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East (His Holiness Mar Dinkha IV) in St. Barnabas Church in Ealing. In November of that year, His Holiness was invited to the General Synod of the Church of England, and I accompanied him, meeting with His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace the Bishop of London, and the Church of England commissioners. During their discussion, His Holiness requested a redundant church for use by our community. After six months of correspondence, we were offered churches in Kensington, Battersea Park, Southwick, and Sydenham, but these churches were not suitable as they were too far from the Assyrian community in Ealing.
On 11th October 1978, we added four new members to our committee: David Malik, Emmanuel Kelaita, David Youna, and Enwia Esho. The committee met with His Beatitude Mar Narsai, and we discussed ways of moving forward and writing a constitution for our church.
With the help of Lambeth Palace, we were able to arrange for the arrival of Archdeacon Younan and his family.
