The city is essentially a public arena where diverse people and multiple systems, networks and cultures encounter each other. It is where church interacts with all the other agents of the city. Understanding the implication of these encounters for church as well as city is notoriously difficult and ambiguous. As a result of an empirical study in the Danish city of Aarhus, eight ‘functions’ have been distinguished. This article asks what happens, if instead, they are seen as part of a third, common space of interaction for church and city. For purposes of further interpretation a garden-city narrative and trinitarian motifs are deployed.

教堂与城市之间的第三空间：丹麦自治市的联合制作

城市本质上是一个公共场所，不同的人和多种系统、网络和文化在这里相遇。这是教会与城市所有其他代理人互动的地方。众所周知，理解这些遭遇对教会和城市的影响是困难和模棱两可的。作为在丹麦奥胡斯市进行的一项实证研究的结果，八个“功能”已经被区分出来。这篇文章询问如果相反，它们被视为教会和城市互动的第三个共同空间的一部分，会发生什么。为了进一步解释花园城市叙事和三位一体的主题。
