I used to go to a church that rented to a chinese church that came in after our service. It is one of the reasons I left the church (a small one though).

I believe that the main reason for “church”, after worshiping our Creator, is community. That is, we are a church family. Often that means hanging around for an hour or more in discussion of the sermon, or personal lives, or even potluck. But in that church it meant clearing out quick so the other group could set up. I really, REALLY hated it.

I’d rather have a cheap building where we could meet freely than a fancy one that we had to share with other congregations. In fact, I honestly believe it stimeys one of the main reasons for gathering in the first place - community.

i don’t see the problem if the chinese church more or less believed the same as you did, just in a different language.
