The guest speaker talked not only about Christianity but also about his/her life story so some students who had no religion like me didn’t feel awkward or embarrassed. I mean, we had no aversion about Christianity because we just sympathized with the story of the guest speaker. As I experienced a lot about Christianity in my school, I changed my viewpoint of Christian. In our school, there are many activities related to religion...
