Jan van der Graaf

Jan van der Graaf (12 January 1937 – 14 October 2022) was a Dutch church administrator and engineer. He was General Secretary of the Reformed Association in the Dutch Reformed Church between 1973 and 2000. Van der Graaf also wrote several books, was chief editor of the Reformed Association's magazine De Waarheidsvriend and associated with the Evangelische Omroep.

For the most part of his youth he was a member of the Reformed Congregations. Although Van der Graaf didn't study theology - instead, he studied chemical technology at Delft University of Technology and did some teaching afterwards - he acted like a theologian. He was an iconic personality in representing the Reformed Association (Gereformeerde Bond).

Van der Graaf was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary in 1994.

Van der Graaf died in Huizen on 14 October 2022, at the age of 85.
