That's a staggering thought! :eek: Amazing how your city must have changed since that time! :okay:

Thank you, gents, for this thread! I really appreciate it. :) I love churches, and it's just fascinating for me to see how Europeans built their churches far away from home and looking just like those in their own countries.

wei, :redx:

Too bad you're getting the :redx: effect, TYW! :(

The Wesley Church looks Anglican and has some red Chinese (?) writing beneath its roof cross. St. John's is primarily made of brick (I think) and has six wooden doors/entrances along the side of the church.

St Anne Church, BM

http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/2782/st_anne01.jpg
by YahWen Ho

This church was founded by Father F.P Sorin, a French Roman Catholic missionary in 1888. In the 1900s, word started to get round that vows had been fulfilled and miracles performed which were attributed to St. Anne.

This led to the Feast Day of St. Anne becoming the occasion for a major annual pilgrimage in which thousands take part from all over the region and even from as far away as Australia. Today, the Feast of St. Anne held towards the end of July is a nine-day affair, the climax of which comes at the end with a spectacular candlelight procession.

There is now a larger new St. Anne’s Church some two km away, but for the festival the old church remains the focal point.

Both churches are located in town called Bukit Mertajam at mainland Penang. Please visit this church if you do drop by Malaysia.

Sze, you've been inside St. Andrew's? Was wondering how the interior looks...;)

Anyway, this is the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Klang. It was recently featured in the book, Landmarks of Selangor. :)

Looks like Wesley KL and Wesley in Singapore. :eek::D

Hmm... they belong to same denomination of Christianity?

Nope... Our Lady of Lourdes is a Catholic church. There is a convent school next to the church as well, also with nice architecture. ;)

Sze, you've been inside St. Andrew's? Was wondering how the interior looks...;)

wow, this one is nice!...btw, do malaysia has any...mormon churches?..or the baha'i place of worship?

wow, this one is nice!...btw, do malaysia has any...mormon churches?..or the baha'i place of worship?

I am not sure about Mormon (Latter Day Saints) churches though...and the Bahai faith is completely different. :) But I have certainly met quite a few Bahais.

There are many protestant denominations in Malaysia apart from the Catholic Church, which was the earliest from a historical perspective - starting in Melaka during the Portugese colonisation. The bigger denominations (Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc.) came in during various stages of the colonial periods (the Dutch and the English).

There is also a smaller Mar Toma and Syrian Orthodox community (from Kerala, India) in Malaysia.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/395482185_acbc2ba3d5_b.jpg

This church is easily one of the oldest (if not the oldest) in Kuala Lumpur. The Anglican Church dedicated to St. Mary, was completed in 1895 and is of an early English Gothic architecture designed by AC Norman, a government architect at that time. It was actually a replacement for an older wooden church built in 1887 on Bukit Aman (then known as Bluff Hill). Among the notable personalities who have attended mass here include Queen Elizabeth II. :)

for more of it's history, please visit the following site:

wow, this one is nice!...btw, do malaysia has any...mormon churches?..or the baha'i place of worship?

There are some Mormon places of worship, but not registered church i believe, they operate in shoplots or houses. I have been invited to one in PJ but dun really remember where exctly as I didn't go. There is another one in Penang along wif a Jehovah Witness place of worship. If you want a direction, just ask those white boys who are alwiz around major cities wif bicycles and some books, thy are Mormon evangelists.

As for Baha'i...there are many, for Penang, the centre is in Gottleib Road, in an office building fronting Penang Chinese Girl's School.

Finally managed to get an interior picture of St. Mary's KL

I am not sure about Mormon (Latter Day Saints) churches though...and the Bahai faith is completely different. :) But I have certainly met quite a few Bahais.


There was a Bahai student in my secondary school :) in KL .

One of the many churches nestled in KL's Brickfields enclave.

Steeped in history, the church is situated quite grandly on a hill (Petaling Hill) overlooking the old part of town. The first building was built in 1899 at Malacca Street (Jalan Melaka).
