The Anglican Church in Singapore, St. Andrews Cathedral

Churches in South East Asia are rather rare, the predominant religions are Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism. The St. Andrews Cathedral is located in the city center of Singapore and originates from the colonial period during the 19th century.

It is hard to approach the church since the large garden is protected by a high fence. Only at the corners of the garden, a garden gate could be opened. The church is completely white and the interior simple. We were a bit surprised to find so many books at each chair.

Kerken in Zuidoost Azië zijn eerder zeldzaam. De dominerende religies zijn het Boeddhisme, de Islam en het Hindoeïsme. De St. Andrew kathedraal staat in het stadscentrum van Singapore en werd gebouwd gedurende de koloniale periode in de 19de eeuw. 

Het is niet gemakkelijk de kerk te benaderen daar de grote tuin afgesloten is door een hoog hekwerk. Enkel aan de tuinhoeken kan er een ingangspoort geopend zijn. De kerk is volledig wit met eenvoudig interieur. We waren wat verrast op iedere stoel zo veel boeken terug te vinden.

Organ concert in St. Andrew and St. Paul church, Montréal

We were visiting Montréal on July 29, and are interested in architecture. This is the main reason why we have so many articles on our blog about churches. In the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, there was an organ concert of Han Mi Kang. At first we didn't want to enter because we didn't want to disturb the artist in her concert. The people at the entrance were so friendly and invited us in. We were pleased to here a few plays from Ms. Han Mi Kang. She is very talented and Doctor in Music from the McGill University. Congratulations. We enjoyed your music.

Op 29 juli hebben we Montréal bezocht. Daar we interesse hebben in architectuur, kan je veel artikelen over kerken op onze blog terugvinden. In de kerk van St. Andrew en St. Paul, was er een orgelconcert van Mevrouw Han Mi Kang. Eerst wilden we niet binnengaan om de artieste niet te storen gedurende haar optreden. De mensen aan de ingang waren echter zo vriendelijk en hebben ons uitgenodigd binnen te gaan. We waren blij enkele stukken van Mevrouw Han Mi Kang te hebben gehoord. Ze is zeer getalenteerd en Dokter in de muziek van de McGill universiteit. Proficiat, we hebben genoten van uw muziek.
