On Mar 29th, I went to St. Paul Church with my planning teacher Mandy. This church located in Taiping South Road. This is a Catholicism church. I chose to go to a church because I know many English-speaking people go to the church, I want to know more about this people’s culture.
When I arrived there, it’s 9:50a.m., Mandy haven’t been there yet, so I looked around to see the style of the church, I thought the church’s style was Gothic, it’s very difficult to see this kind of building in China.
Shortly after, Mandy came to the church, she told me that the English service started at 10:30 a.m., and we need to wait. So she told me some basic knowledge about Catholicism. I felt very amazed when I heard she quickly said several very long sentences.
Then we entered the Church. The whole English service was divided into many parts, like ‘Anthem’, ‘The collect’ etc. When I heard other people said ‘Amen’, I found that Mandy had a different pronunciation, so I asked her why, she told me that because she is a American, American and British have different ways to say ‘Amen’. During the service, I also asked Mandy many other questions, she asked me one by one. Quickly, one and a half hour passed away. I needed to go, finally I said thanks to Mandy and went back to school
In conclusion, I thought this event is very meaningful, I can learn much knowledge about the religious and culture. I will still go there if I am free.
