Religion Service

On December the 14th, some of our classmates went to the MoChou Lu Church on MoChou Road. It was Sunday and I arrived there at 1:30 pm. The theme of the religion service was “A Christmas Service”, it was free and talked about Christian. I chose to go to this service because in China, some of us believe in Buddhism but very few people believe in Christian, so I can hardly touch this culture or acquire some knowledge about it. I think before I go aboard, it is necessary to learn some main points about Christian or I might make some mistakes and cause something unpleasant things there.
The vicar told us the stories about Jesus Christ’ mother, something about his birth and other events. I did not like these stories much because I could not understand them completely. Also, since the vicar was a Chinese, his pronunciation was not very professional and made me feel a little bit strange. The service was not just telling stories, to make it more interesting, it also arranged some activities such as let all the audience sing Christian songs together and enjoy western kids’ performances.
After this experience, I know that I must treat western religions seriously especially when I go aboard, for example, the United States is a typical big nation with many religions, 82% of Americans believe in religions, even more, words like “in god we trust” are printed on the American dollars. So, unlike in China, I feel the westerners think religions as a very important part of their lives.
This religion service gave me a total idea of what Christian religions is and let me think about how to deal with religion problems aboard as a Chinese, so it was meaningful and remained me a deep impression.
