Foreign Christians share church services with capital's residents

BEIJING - Eleanor Liu never misses church on Sundays, even though she's 92 and lives half a world away from her hometown.

The woman, originally from the United States, married a Chinese man 51 years ago and moved to Beijing in 1986. With the husband and son both devout Christians, church is an indispensable part of the family's life.

When she first came to Beijing, Liu went to the Young Men's Christian Association in the Dongdan region on Sundays, but in the late 1980s she started going to Chongwenmen Church, and liked it there.
