PARK STREET CHURCH-Park Street Church Downtown Boston is famous green piece called "Boston Public Green (BOSTON COMMON)", green on the eastern side of the street called Park Street (PARK STREET), the southern end of Park Street, corner of Park Street Church is beautiful (PARK STREET CHURCH). Boston almost no people do not know this church, shall tourists visiting Boston to watch the church. Church is red brick, round foyer, white spire. Her foot green, straight chu blue sky, like a big exclamation of praise life! Every time the city saw Park Street Church, he immediately conceived from a good mood, always feel that day is Sunday - on a busy day, that day more enjoyable than Sunday! I first met Park Street Church was eight years ago. Then came the United States, eager to tutoring English, Park Street Church heard people say that there is a free English classes, call: FOCUS, then go on a Sunday to find. Entering the church, happened to see a middle-aged man, like a pastor, he came up to ask him about English cram. He told me Tuesday as early as nine and a half years, with a passport. I came to the church on time Tuesday, I met a lot of people who sign up tutoring in English, we queued registered through simple examination, and then press the scores are assigned to different classes. Students from many different countries, most are Chinese and Japanese. Later learned that the church told me Tuesday to the pastor who is the founder of FOCUS - 约瑟夫萨邦基, he has opened this year twenty-one of the learning centers. Cram into eight grades, class teachers are volunteers to teach Americans, class time for each Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Friday evenings and Sunday as well as Bible study. I was there a school that is two years from the fourth grade through eighth grade a value, it is not only the English harvest progress, increasing friends, but also to learn the Bible, Old and New Testaments in many chapters. And Park Street Church has such a love, cherish her passion for nature, but in a very long period of time, however, her history without understanding, then slowly one after another in a number of books read, the park can be built up Street Church to draw the outline of a history: She was built in 1809 and was later hailed as "a classic of Christian architecture," Henry - James describes her: "America's most fun a group of red brick and gravel combination. " However, in this beautiful church appeared before her site is a large barn. Barn rats and worms due to disaster, the original owner sold it, the new owner to clean it up later, for business premises, but soon collapsed due to old abandoned. Then, came a famous British church architect, called Peter Barna (PETER-BANNER), he had just completed in Connecticut Yale design. Peter Barna Park Street Church in design time, absorbing the two famous predecessors architect style, a famous American architect who treasure relaxation (CHARLES-BULFINCH, designer of Boston and Washington State Capitol), Another famous British architect Ryan (CHRISTOPHER-WREN), so after the completion of the Park Street Church presents "American-style" in the main structure and the "London" type of towering spire, both simple yet elegant. After that, it stands in the Park Street Church in Boston city, became a witness of each era of American history. During the eighteenth century in difficult economic times, the church had leased some of the poor house museum open to complement the lack of funds, but later found a woman in a teahouse smoking (smoking is very popular at the time), that she stopped. 1812 Civil War, Boston plays an important role, "the emancipation of slaves, to defend the Federation", the church basement was used as a gunpowder depot. 1817, the first Sunday of the U.S. Christian Bible study started here, the first batch sent to Hawaii Mission from here. 1832, America's most famous song: "My beautiful home" for the first time here sang. There are many famous speech is conducted in this church, for example, first proposed in 1829 Gleason antislavery forces made a speech in 1849 Sumner "national war system" speech, and so on. In 1895, the church has something interesting happened: there was a priest is preparing the next day's liturgy, thunder, not far from one of the windows down tread down, he ran in a timely manner was spared. Of the 19th century, the construction of the subway near the church, a messy, broken main waterways have been dug up, there was a priest in the church when he was a bitter curse subway "Devil's Cave." However, the piece is America's first subway subway lines, America's first subway train trip from nearby Park Street is the church out of the subway station. Park Street Church has less than 200 years, compared to Chinese history, she was simply too young. However, she was like an American, "Historical Records" record each generation immigrants who struggle and pursuit. Park Street Church stand up from the old barn with red brick of the main structure is not enough to be on top again to straighten a white spire, so that it becomes a beautiful city, and out of the church where people only completed From the practical to the ideal of one kind of sublimation.
