[quote=TOMSPENCER,270177]Wow, 2009 seems like such a long way off. That's really planning ahead.

I can offer advice about Guangzhou, but I honestly don't know about the other major cities (though, clearly if you were going to live in Hong Kong I would recommend St John's).

In Guangzhou the biggest and most popular church is on Yide Zhong Lu. It's a Catholic cathedral (the largest gothis cathedral in China), built by the French. Most of the services on a Sunday are in Chinese, but at least one (in the middle of the afternoon, I think) is in English.

Shamian has two churches: another Catholic church (also built by the French) and an Anglican church (built by the British). I can report that the Anglican church conducts services almost exclusively in Chinese, although it also runs an English-language bible study group. I don't know about the Catholic church.

There is a 'temporary' worship centre for foreigners in Tianhe. This conducts business in English but scarcely qualifies as a church.

There are a few other places around the city, although I'm afraid I cannot confirm whether or not they have English-language services.[/quote]
