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

I think you would see the problem if you were there. I actually tried to be friendly with them as we tore down the music stuff (I played bass in the band) and they were setting up. The culutral divide is great ans made significantly worse with the language barrier. And everyone is preoccupied with the work they are doing.

It is the whole “we gotta get out and make room” attitude instead of “so, how’s it going?” attitude. It was the one church we went to that after a year we never really felt like we could really connect much with anyone. The one guy I did connect with left town and started a home very similar to Ronald McDonald house but on a much smaller scale. And most people would desrcibe him as “weird”.

Probably, I apologize if my previous comment came across as brusque or in any way attacking you personally
