Which good guy translated part of my posts? Thank you. Only one typo: it should be "Xishiku" instead of "Xishikou".

What about the BICF (Beijing International Christian Fellowship? It's English speaking and only foreign passport holders could get in (sanctioned for foreigner's religious gathering by the Chinese government)

Calling it a Fellowship is underestimating the congregation, there are 3,000+ attending the Sunday services at two locations.

It won't be surprised to see many ambassy people and international corporation senior management there... including those from United Airlines, Intel....

My friend wants to go to a church service this Sunday. Anybody know of any churches near Guanganmen (Xuanwu) which have services in English (if need be Chinese) and are open to foreigners and Chinese?

Where is the church and what time?

Im afraid this is the nearest one:

If you start from guanganmen, take bus te7 and get off at xuanwumen
or take bus 719, get off at fuxingmen subway station and take subway to xuanwumen. The distance is nearly 5 kms

Good

Whats the real deal with regard to churches/religion and the authorities?

I am not at all religious so I dont frequent these places but some people I know, not in china, still seem to think there is a need for bibles and there is still 'difficulties' going on with respect to religions here.

Maybe I am opening up a can o' worms here? If I am, please can the moderator delete it and lets all go back to the normal safe topic of insult throwing.

Does st. joseph's Church have sunday mass service?
if so, what time?
Any other Catholic churches here in Beijing?

My turn again: do you guys have a favorite mess? I was planning to go tomorrow morning to St Joseph (@ Comfort: services at 6.30 and 7AM in weekdays, 6.30, 7 and 8 AM on Sunday) but a friend told me there was a more beautiful one in the North East.

Any hint ?

Originally built in 1655, this centrally located cathedral offers services in Chinese and Latin for Chinese citizens and foreigners.
Xishiku Cathedral located in Xicheng District, is the grandest and most ornate church in Beijing.

When I travel to Beijing I had seen The Southern Church is located at Xuanwumen Avenue,The East Church – Wangfujing Catholic Church.
