   • 2007, Jens Linderoth, Hvorfor er vi i kirke sammen?, page 165:

     En tro på, at de, hvor de end vovede sig hen, hvor dybt ned i livets, tilværelsens og menneskets dybder, de vovede sig, aldrig ville komme til et sted, hvor Kristus ikke havde været og stadigvæk var.

     A faith that wherever they ventured, how deep they ventured into the depths of life, existence and humanity, they would never come to a place where Christ had never been and still was.
