Religious Service























I have been to a Protestantism church on May 1st 2009 to do a religious service with my friend Abby. We attended there at about 11 o’clock and stayed there until 12 o’clock. The church’s name is St. Paul which is located on Mochou Road near the Xinjiekou. Church St. Paul is the biggest Protestantism church in Nanjing and most of the people who believe Protestantism choose to go there do the religious service; it is also the most famous church in Nanjing, so we chose to go there.
Protestantism comes from the Christianity, and then the Christianity was divided into three main groups---1.Roman Catholicism 2.Protestant Church 3.Easten Orthodoxy. The Protestantism talk to us all of us had got guilt since we was born to the world, we also do a lot of guilty things in our life when we are growing even though little things like lie to our friends. We need to say sorry to all of theses mistakes to the God to exchange the forgiveness of the God, finally, when we dead, we can go to the heaven instead of the hell. I think that is very necessary for us to say sorry to all the wrong things in our life, because sometimes no one could find my small mistakes in the life, but I know, if I do not confess to someone or do that in some ways, I would just keep it in my heart and never care about it ant more, maybe that would cause a serious problem in the future. To do a religious service in Protestantism church can help me think about myself and get the comfort from my own heart, make sure the bad thing such like that will never happens in my life any more.
I like this experience very much. It makes me know more about the western religion, and how to do the religious service in a church. First sit on the seat peacefully. Second, open my eyes and see the cross directly. Third, held my palms together, finally, I can talk my guilt softly in a common speed. That is a meaningful experience in my life. I find it is strange, because I have never do service like today in my life before, I also didn’t know how to do that in right way, but I know it will be the benefit for me if I will go to a Western University in the future.
