Note: I would prefer that this be supported by labels so that the users can add relevant instances from resources outside what Faithlife coded.

I would include symbols, images and motifs in this section - I'm still waffling on whether they should be distinguished in the data or whether we should make the user think.

Examples of resources that should be included:

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."
