Hong Kong is unquestionably a diverse city. While the people have benefited from the city’s cultural diversity in all aspects of living, from food to entertainment, it might be nevertheless surprising that this secular city-state is just religiously as diverse. In a study by the Pew Research Center in 2014, Hong Kong ranks top 10 for the most religiously diverse territories in the world. Religious pluralism is well embraced by the city and its people.
Just within Wan Chai, there are places of worship for Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Christianity, Mormonism, Sikhism, and Islam. Deities of different origins are hosted here in harmony and religious beliefs interact with love and respect.
In this walk, we will visit three different places of worship: St. John Cathedral, The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints and Hindu Temple – the religion of each of which has been engaging and contributing to the diverse culture of Hong Kong and deserves better understanding from the people.
