Wait where did the thing about the school being closed because they dont do science go?Isn't it true after all:we went form giving a very precise reason to no reason at all.
How was a church with 120 members able to offer $13,000,000 kroner (about US$2.3 million) for a house? Who is funding them? There are not many rich people in Denmark due to the inheritance laws there.-- Jaibe 14:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Ehmm there's lot's of rich people in Denmark, dunno why you think otherwise 80.197.1.72 23:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes that's a very odd thing to say Denmark has many rich people even with the high tax rates.The average persons income is amongst the highest in the world. Wonx2150 10:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
This word in American English means that they preach the word of Christ in the hope of converting non-believers to Christianity.
I object to the phrase "preach the word of Christ" ;sounds biased.
In Europe it is often a synonym for the word Protestant.
The word evangelical has come to represent a particular, conservative brand of Christianity that emphasizes the primacy of the Bible as the source of truth and a potent faith-based life. In Europe the term is often used for a conservative movement in the United States. It is completely unclear which of these meanings the writer of this article meant.
It is clear to me, a native speaker of English, who has spent m 35 years working with a wide variety of non-native speakers, that this article was written by a person whose native language is not English. I would guess that the author is unaware that the word "evangelistic" is extremely rare in common dialog about religion, and that it is ambiguous.
Could someone who knows what sort of church this is please insert the correct word? A discussion of the various meanings this word has in native English can be found here.
Thank you.

Read http://www.dci.dk/?artikel=1223 , it explains why Faderhuset should be regarded as a "sekt". http://www.dci.dk/?artikel=1111 explains some things about the source, Dialogcentret. "Sekt" is most acurately translated to the word "cult" in this case, as pointed out on the talk page for Ungdomshuset, and if you read the wikipedia entries on "sect" and "cult" you'll see why.
The Guardian has called the group a 'sect', http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,2027460,00.html, while the Indpendent has called it a 'Christian organization'. http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2328814.ece.
It is probably tendentious to call it a 'cult'. I am totally unbiased here: I think this group is probably a bunch of crazies, but even they deserve the NPOV. Onaraighl 14:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
The word cult or sect is inflammatory and the article from DCI is clearly biased against this particular group. Neither deserves place here on Wikipedia. 85.81.77.225 01:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
DCI is more or less the "foreign office" of the Danish state church. They are not in any way a neutral source for anything. -- Per Abrahamsen 07:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
