II. In Church
Now in China, a lot of people go to church. So it is better for you to
know
some manner which should be followed in church.
Not only politeness but an attitude of reverence is demanded in church.
In
one is not familiar with the service, he may maintain a respectful silence.
One should stand when others stand, sit when they sit, and bow during prayer.
On entering a church an usher will probably show you to a seat and it is
polite to take the one indicated by him, though it is quite proper to whisper
a suggestion that one des not want to sit too far to the front, or that one
is
a little deaf and would like to sit well forward.
It is usual for anyone attedning church to take some money along for the
offering, as it is a regular part of every chuch service and is used for the
work of the church.
Good clothers, but never evening clothes, are worn to a church service. In
some churches it is improper for a lady not to wear a hat.
One must come on time and stay till the service is over. When it is over,
one passes quietly out of the church with the other worshipper. In many
churches
it is considered irreverent to talk before one has reaches the entrance hall.
Sometimes the "Load's supper" or "Communion"(圣餐)is observed at the
end
of the service. This is special service for the fellowship of Christians. And
one is not supposed to participate if he is not a Christian.
