Is it true that the Greek term εν not to occur with verbs of motion? I understand this to be yes from the sources I read.

    Do you have any reason to question your sources?

    I don't know Greek but this search seems to confirm the grammars. You need to "play" with grammatical and morphological searches until you can build basic searches such as this. Note even expanding to 16.9 does not produce results.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Well I read these a long time ago and that was in my notes with no page numbers. I could not find anything in the index.

    Yes I do and I am working on it more systematically.
