My travel companions went to Silliman church on Sunday morning to hear mass---they thought it’s a Catholic church and later wondered why the rituals were different than the one they’re used to.:D<BR/><BR/>So you were also introduced to the flock?

Kudos to the administrators of this university for doing such a great job honoring the philantrophy and memory of a generous and kindhearted man. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Silliman (1825-1910) was said to have been a devout Presbyterian and once he had built his fortune in his hometown of Cohoes, NY (160 miles north of New York City), used his wealth to fund the establishment and improvement of churches, colleges, and hospitals. No doubt, that his decision to fund the establishment of Silliman University was one of the efforts to push for the propagation of education and the Protestant faith in our part of the world.Panaderoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404619097665070778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-13471066742940700282008-10-06T18:19:00.000+08:002008-10-06T18:19:00.000+08:00I had the wonderful chance to be invited in Silima...I had the wonderful chance to be invited in Siliman twice and stayed at the Alumni Hall. During the second time I got there, I was on an outreach program with the arts highschool studentry and we had performances in the auditorium. I was just so impressed. It was even better than that of UP Diliman. Then we got to attend the Sunday service---was it Methodist or Anglican (I forget). The pastor or minister kept introducing the parishioners one by one. I wondered if that was the service in itself. Like you I had great memories of Siliman U.!
