Although she loves what she is doing, there are times when bishop Sofie Petersen feels a strong desire to be someplace else than inside her cosy diocesan office in Nuuk, Greenland.

It is a bright and crisp Sunday morning in mid-May in Ilulissat on Greenland’s west coast, more than 300 kilometres north of the Arctic circle. As usual, the sea is scattered with glittering icebergs in different shapes and sizes. This morning, like most mornings this time of the year, new formations of frozen water, calved from the Greenland icecap at the bottom of Ilulissat Icefjord, have made their way out into the Disko Bay and shaped up right in front of Zion Church, one of Church of Greenland’s two churches in use in Ilulissat. Built in 1779, this dark-brown wooden jewel is the oldest church in the country and a natural meeting place for locals.

Es una mañana de domingo brillante y fresca de mediados de mayo en Ilulissat, en la costa oeste de Groenlandia, a más de 300 kilómetros al norte del círculo polar ártico. Como de costumbre, el mar está salpicado de brillantes icebergs de diferentes formas y tamaños. Esta mañana, como la mayoría de las mañanas en esta época del año, nuevas formaciones de agua helada, nacidas de la capa de hielo de Groenlandia en el fondo del fiordo de Ilulissat, han salido a la bahía de Disko y se han formado justo enfrente de la Iglesia de Sión, una de las dos iglesias de la Iglesia de Groenlandia en uso en Ilulissat. Construida en 1779, esta joya de madera de color marrón oscuro es la iglesia más antigua del país y un lugar de encuentro natural para los lugareños.
