Art/Literary - Religion | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: Etrange situation que celle de... | | This is the first sentence of a book on the history of the Church. Full sentence is "Etrange situation que celle de l'Eglise de Dieu!" I could translate it "What a strange situation the Church finds itself in!" or "What a strange situation, that of the Church of God!" but don't feel these are really idiomatic. Any thoughts appreciated. |
