@Vrhaar Thanks for sharing! Interesting contrast: my example uses independent 'whose' (no head noun in the relative clause), while your Indonesian example is dependent (possession tied directly to 'gereja'). Different strategies for expressing possession!

The head of the clause should be a coordination, not a VP. Sorry!

My Rumelhart Prize presentation, IMHO I think one of the best talks I've ever given, very much inspired by the audience. "3 ages and 3 intelligences: explore, exploit, empower" AI, life history, the significance of children, elders and caregiving.
