Church



I visited this local church today. It is one of the most beautiful church buildings I have ever seen in my life, anywhere. The chandeliers are just mesmerizing. So many things are different about this church than the ones in Bedrock. This one is extremely clean, has pews instead of theater seats, is spotlessly clean, has young people who attend, has middle-class attendees (instead of only poor farmers) who dress very well, and the preacher speaks the national language instead of a dialect. You have to arrive 30 minutes early to get a seat downstairs. If you sit upstairs you can't see anything going on, but there are closed-circuit TV's that show what's going on. This church is one of those registered with the government. Anyway, I just thought you'd like to see what it looks like.
