Church

For the past few years, I've been going to church services at a Lutheran Seminary, Christ's Temple at Tao Fong Song. They have English speaking services on Sunday evenings, and I have really enjoyed the small community and peaceful, contemplative nature of the services. It was a blessing for me to be refreshed every week. The seminary is located on top of a mountain, so the location is quiet and peaceful, a pleasant change from the rest of Hong Kong. The congregation is small, made of a few seminary students (from all over Asia), a few other expats (mainly from Scandinavia), and a few fellow teacher friends. Once a month, there is a Taize service. The seminary and Christian center here are host to many retreats, seminars, and conferences. Finally, on my last Sunday there, I brought my camera and took a few photos. Pilgrim's Hall, where the congregation eats a vegetarian meal together after church every week.
