A：I am kind of nervous .
B：Nervous? Why?
A：I don’t know. I never went to a church before. I was not raised as a Christian. So I don’t know what to do.
B：Don’t worry. You don’t have to do anything. All you have to do is listen. You’ll enjoy it.
A：Maybe, I know I agree to go with you. But now I don’t feel right about it.
B：Listen Ryan. Catholics welcome people who aren’t Catholics to visit the church. You don’t have to pretend to be Catholic, it is OK, if you just come and listen.
A：Really?
B：Yes. We are kind and welcoming people. It’s not a secret society or something like that.
A：All right. But will we sing?
B：Yes. But you don’t even have to sing. If you want to sing along, you can.
A：I don’t know the words.
B：There’s a song book. All the words are in the song book. Many people have to read the words.
A：And will I have to go up the front to have bread and wine?
B：No, that’s something only true Catholics do. So if you come to the church as a visitor, you only listen to the service. But you shouldn’t go up the altar for the bread and wine. Only after someone joins the church, they go up for the Eucharist
A：Eucharist? What is that?
B：That is the special word for the ritual of the bread and wine. The Catholics call it the Eucharist.
A：It doesn’t sound like an English word.
B：It’s not. It’s an ancient Greek word. It means gratitude.
A：All right. Well, I feel more comfortable now. Now I understand I’m welcome as a visitor.
B：Of course you are, I wouldn’t ask you otherwise. |
