The partnership with Mountain Brook Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., lets members of Meng En Christian Church have room to stretch their legs and invite their friends. The original Pingdu building was made to hold 150 people, but services often included more than 500 people. The building was assigned by the government after Christians resumed public worship in 1987, and hundreds crowded into nearby alleys during services at the decrepit temple. Now, the new building for Meng En Christian Church officially seats 1,500, though nearly 2,500 people crowded into dedication services May 3. A delegation from Mountain Brook attended the services, making them meaningful for both congregations. 06/14/2006 - By John Rutledge « 1 … 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 … 669 » ×
