Kung Tung Church by Nicolas Fan

I finish reading this book in one afternoon , take 2 breaks - one in afternoon , one I before bed . I can't remember when was the last time I complete reading a non fiction in one day !
 Nicolas is more than a photographer , his writing with picture image and story telling is even compelling to me !
 Bethlehem church established in 1922 at Swiss , in the hey day of 60's - they built 45 churches in the east coast of Taiwan and staff 40 plus fathers there . The believe in child and innocent bring  them down to earth to serve , 
I am thinking while reading - western  religion tend to give and offer , sacrifice themselves for a better - higher purpose , to practice the love of God ! Eastern religion asked us to practice internally and to trenchant suffering in lift . How can a western people love aboriginal morn than  their parent ?
My eyes were wet , touch by the fact I learn and also by the point Nichols take , a higher purpose and meaning in lift , something larger than life , I feel so ashamed not able to perform any good to others  , I will make it my plan to visit Bethlehem churches in Tai Tung this year , to wash my soul and to give my life a second thought
