Christ Church, Melaka was constructed from 1741 to 1753. This is the original building with the exception that the porch and vestry were added in the mid 1800s. The Pink color was added in 1911, it was originally painted white. Built by Dutch settlers the church was later re-purposed as an Anglican church, which it remains as today. The British East India Company too possession of Melaka in 1838 and the name Christ Church was given to the building when it was consecrated by clergy from the Church of England. The bell, inscribed with 1698, suggests that it was used for another purpose before being installed here.

Built of native sandstone by skilled English stone masons, this early Anglican Church was erected to meet the spiritual needs of a group of people who came over from England in the 1830’s to settle the prairies of western Peoria county here in Illinois. One of the oldest churches in the area, there are sister churches to this one in Brimfield and Robin’s Nest (Jubilee). With Bishop Philander Chase nearby and a seminary for training young ministers established at Robin’s Nest, it looked like there was a fair chance that the western Peoria county prairie would be modeled after Yorkshire England. In Southern Illinois at a place called Albion, there was already an earlier successful English prairie settlement started by a man named George Flowers. At this early date the prairies of Illinois were completely up for grabs because they were considered undesirable for settlement due to a shortage of available wood for building housing and for heating and cooking. The English with their extensive knowledge of building with stone and heating with coal which is very abundant in Illinois were undeterred by the prairie conditions which caused American settlers to shun the prairies in their search for inhabitable lands. To this day a glance at the telephone book will reveal a large number of English surnames among the local population. These people came to stay and are an important part of the state’s establishment though they seem to be largely forgotten in discussions of early Illinois settlement. They were educated, skilled, and religiously devout.
This Christ on the cross all black painted was stunning !
A legend tells that the statue took that color by miraculously absorbing a poison which was placed there to kill a priest who was going to lay his lips on the feet of the Christ.

Le Christ noir
Ce Christ sur la croix peint tout en noir était extraordinaire !
Une légende raconte que la statue a pris cette couleur en absorbant miraculeusement le poison placé là pour tuer un prêtre qui allait poser ses lèvres sur les pieds du Christ.

Mostly non-theistic Friends
The actual meeting house is adjacent to the school, which is pictured above.
# I attended here many Sunday mornings when I lived in Chester County. I went there primarily to meditate, as most of the time there was quiet. There were no priests and near the beginning of the hour someone would very briefly read from a verse from the Bible, but other than that there was no mention of God or Christ, hence the term “non-theistic”. On occasion someone in attendance might stand to say whatever was on their mind, but it was brief and their was no further discussion of the subject.
Meditation was very important to me, as I worked many hours in the week and had thee children who required my attention as well as my house that required constant upkeep.
So, these “meetings” was my time to calm myself and gain a bit of peace. I always came away refreshed. And I still practice meditation at home.

Our greatest suffering comes from within as we battle for control over a heart that must die to its own will and surrender to the Christ's Lordship (Romans 7:15-25)

«Поки ми здатні світити й зігрівати одне одного різдвяним світлом, колядою та молитвою, ніяка темрява чи холоднеча нас ніколи не подолає!
Христос народився! Славімо Його!»

«And there were in the same country some shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night in the field. And suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, glorifying God, and crying out, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.»
Verse 8-14 Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria (†1107)
«У тій країні були на полі пастухи, що утримували нічну варту біля стада свого. Раптом з'явився їм Ангол Господній, і слава Господня осяяла їх; і злякалися страхом великим. І сказав їм Ангол; не бійтеся; я сповіщаю вам велику радість, яка буде всім людям: бо нині народився вам у місті Давидовому Спаситель, що Христос Господь; і ось вам знак: ви знайдете Немовля в пеленах, що лежить у яслах. І раптом з'явилося з Ангелом численне небесне воїнство, що славить Бога і волає: слава у вишних Богові, і на землі мир, в людей благовоління.»

Last night's light was strange and beautiful. The sky almost appeared to be illuminated by some large tungsten light. Here's historic Christ Church in that golden light with a faint rainbow coursing overhead.
George Pace's reinforced concrete arch surmounted by Sir Jacob Epstein's aluminium statue of 'Christ in Majesty' which stands between the Nave and the Choir.
Notice Christ's 'hands' ? No, not on the statue itself, but the shadows just above the nearest two arches. Clever lighting or what ?
