Under threat of arrest, Christian activists in China battle boldly for
the freedom to practice their beliefs unfettered by the government.

這是非正常的參觀, 趁老婆, 仔不在, "開開眼界." 講員自稱是基督徒和無神論者, 會後和她傾下, 她的無神論是不去定義任何神觀, 因為是不能知, 她寧願生活在"神"的概念之下(她講的"信息"是約伯與神!)...
"崇拜"唱的詩歌, 都是傳統的音調, 卻全給換了歌詞:
Wake, now, my senses (mp3)
Wake, now, my senses, and hear the earth call;
Feel the deep power of being in all;Keep, with the web of creation your vow,Giving, receiving as love shows us how.
Wake, now, compassion, give heed to the cry;
Voices of suffering fill the wide sky;
Take as your neighbor both stranger and friend,
Praying and striving their hardship to end.
Wake, now, my conscience, with justice thy guide
Join with all people whose rights are denied;
Take not for granted a privileged place;
Covenant embraces the whole human race.
另一首: Morning, So Fair to See
"成為我異象," "美哉主耶穌," 兩首很Christocentric的歌現在給去掉了所有耶穌...
沒有祢真理的光照(約十四6), 我的良知, 憐憫和理智又如何醒吾呢!
- 「耶穌,夫子,可憐我們吧!」(路十七13) Ἰησοῦ ἐπιστάτα, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
- σὺ δέ, ὁ πᾶσαν ἀλκὴν καὶ δυναστείαν ἔχων ἅπασαν αἰώνιε, νῦν ἔπιδε, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς (3 Macc 6:12)
- 8 καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐκεῖνος ἐλέγξει τὸν κόσμον περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ περὶ κρίσεως· 9 περὶ ἁμαρτίας μέν, ὅτι οὐ πιστεύουσιν εἰς ἐμέ· 10 περὶ δικαιοσύνης δέ, ὅτι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ὑπάγω καὶ οὐκέτι θεωρεῖτέ με· 11 περὶ δὲ κρίσεως, ὅτι ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου κέκριται. 13 ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας, ὁδηγήσει ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ πάσῃ· (John 16:8-10, 13a)

風速有120-150mph (190-240kmh)! 那時我們去了牧師家, 也聽到龍捲風警號. 這是第一次"近"距離感受這美國特產tornado. (但查實仍然很遠, 有香港與澳門的距離!)
