    Baha'i House of Worship - Built in the 50s

    Truly a remarkably tranquil and beautiful house of worship. The gardens are lovely, especially in…read morespring and summer. The welcome center has a lot of useful literature on the Baha'i faith, and it's wonderful to learn more about this incredibly inclusive and peaceful religion, and saddening to hear about the persecution of Baha'i people. I've visited the Lotus Baha'i temple in Delhi before, and the building in Chicago is significantly smaller and less of an architectural marvel. However, unlike the temple in Delhi, the house of worship in Chicago is not a tourist destination. This allows for more serene contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The Baha'i hous of worship is easily accessible by public transport and also has ample parking. The restrooms in the welcome center are spotless. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the House of Worship. It's not a typical tourist destination, but is instead truly a place for contemplation and silence.

    One word: GO! This is the perfect way to spend an hour in…read morethe area. The temple is free to visit every day from 10 A.M. - six P.M. The house of worship includes a temple, gardens, and a Welcome Center. The welcome center has restrooms, a bookstore, and a mini museum filled with pictures and plaques explaining the Baha'i faith and its history throughout the world. Since I visited on a Sunday, I decided to attend the half hour service, so I could see the inside of the temple. The walls are the same color white as The outside and religious scripts are written across the walls in English and Arabic.

    Evanston Baptist Church - Some of EBC's members Christmas caroling in Evanston

    I began attending EBC two years ago when I moved to Evanston. I joined the church quickly because…read moreof the people I met there. Many of them have proven to be true friends as time has passed. The church meets in the lower level of the Fountain Square building at the intersection of Sherman and Davis in downtown Evanston. It's a small space, but not crowded. On the walls hang art, all of which was painted by people in the church. The music is a blend of contemporary worship songs and older hymns. It sometimes has a bluegrass feel, and is played well. A lot of the musicians are Northwestern students and it's not uncommon to see a violin-cello, saxophone, or washboard in the band. Around 1/3 of the attendees are undergrad students, around 1/3 are young singles or couples, and the rest are older. Lunch is always provided by the church Sundays after service. It's a great time to get to know people there. The church currently has three small-group Bible studies, one of which meets on Wednesday nights and reads Bible stories to build up the larger story-arc of the Bible. The other two meet on Thursday nights. One is for men, studying Ephesians. The other is for women, and I don't know what they are studying. The church tries to be good citizens of Evanston, taking part in community functions, cleaning up litter in alleys (Alley-Sheep) and Christmas caroling around Evanston. The pastor holds a PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt. He currently spends half his weeks in Louisville, KY teaching ethics and apologetics at a seminary and half his weeks in Evanston. The church doctrine states that Jesus Christ and the straightforward teaching of the Bible is life transforming. Some might call that conservative, others might describe it differently.

    This is a great church! People are friendly, atmosphere is energetic, and they preach the Bible…read more Well worth the visit.
