Churches of Northeast India

Presbyterian Church of India, Arunachal Pradesh, NE India
I am taking you off the Charleston peninsula this evening for a tour of Christian Churches in Northeast India.
The first one was far north in Arunachal Pradesh and in a military encampment area. I nodded, tried to look innocent and showed my camera to the Indian Army soldier guarding the remote border area to let him know I simply wanted a photo of the church.

Meghalaya, India
I am not sure about this one. Any ideas? Certainly a surprising sight on a country road in the hills of India. The wording above the entrance is the latin "Venite ad me omnes" which means "Come to me all". I am guessing it is a Catholic Church.

Meghalaya, India

This is an Anglican Chapel in the old British Cemetery in Shillong. There were relocated tombstones from the years of British occupation here.

Meghalaya, India
I spotted this one perched on the side of a hill on a hike up to the Khasi Sacred Forest.

House of Prayer, Arunachal Pradesh, India
This House of Prayer was in the mountain area far north and on an Indian Army base.

I thought this was in interesting collection and reminded me of many of the village churches I worshiped in as a kid.  No worries - I have albums full of Buddhist Monasteries as well!  You should be able to click on the image to get a higher resolution view.

That's over a month's worth of church in lieu of attendance.

Thanks Rick. Since this is named Charleston Daily Photo I hesitate to put too much else on this site. Once and a while I slip in some travel tales.

Charlestonjoan said...

I know! Aren't they the perfect touch?

Charlestonjoan said...

Yep. I'll have to skip church for a month or two to make up for it.

Joan, slip in your travel tales more often, please. CDP rules are frequently bent by many of us. It's your life and your blog. Go for it! I love each and every building; these humble churches speak volumes about the faith of the people!
