Wanny -
There is a church near me, on the est side in the NCKU area, that has services in English. I also think they have the child-care facilities you are looking for - but I'm not certain about that.

PM me if you would like further details.

I do not go to this church but have been aware of the place for quite a few years - it looks like a nice place.

What denomination are you looking for? I know of two Catholic churches that offer masses in English, one of which is taken by a Palestinian priest (the music is AWFUL though).

I can ask a few Christian friends if they know anywhere that offers services in English if you're after a happier denomination There's so many churches in Tainan, I'm sure there's at least one!

Thanks for the infomations.
I am not looking for Catholic church. My husband is a Christian. I asked some people on BBS the other day, "dayspring" looks like a nice one to join.

OT, but that's debatable. Depends who you ask. Wasn't too long ago the Papists called the Protestants heretics that will all burn in Hell.

Be that as it may, as OT as it is, I guess she meant to say: I am not looking for a Catholic church. My husband is a ChristianProtestant.

I know them, they're pretty good. You can also try the church across the road from the Confucius Temple (孔廟) in Nan Men Road (南門路). Not sure of the exact address, but if you're standing at the Confucius temple entrance (with your back to the entrance) and look to your right (towards the Klin market - 克林) it's to the left of the Klin market. The entrance is next to the coffee shop you'll see there (and you should be able to see a sign in Chinese that says church, although I forget the name). Pretty easy to find if you're at the Confucius temple. Can't miss it. I know they have an English Pastor and the sermon is directly interpreted into Chinese as he preaches. As far as I know they also have child-care facilities where you can still see and follow the sermon.
When you get there, ask for a Taiwanese girl called Jenny. Her English is fantastic, so she'll be able to speak with you or your husband and give you any information about the church, it's facilities and service times.

Catholics are Christians, if they have trusted in Jesus alone for the forgiveness of their sins. Being a Christian does not mean being a member of the Roman Catholic Church. It means being a member of the body of Christ which is accomplished by faith and trust in Jesus alone for the forgiveness of your sins. It means that you do not add your works to His work.

Some Protestants claim that Catholics are not Christians. It is a method of attack.

The definition of Christian is "one who follows the Christ"(as in his teachings). This is specifically about a belief in forgiveness, although that is pretty standard among Christians. I need to note that Christ is not a name-it's a title meaning something like Messiah. So, use of this name also suggests a belief that Jesus was prophesied by God.

Guys, you should know by now that this "Catholic / Christian" distinction is a Chinese translation problem. No need to get so defensive about it. (Anyway, the Pope's a tough guy and can take care of himself.)

The obvious follow-up is, what kind of church are you looking for--mainline (like Presbyterian, Methodist, etc.)? Evangelical? Charismatic?
