This
is
a
beautiful
historic
church.
Unfortunately,
my
visit
was
marred
by
The
RUDEST
Person
I
encountered
in
Tanzania!
When
I
arrived
at
the
church,
there
were
a
couple
of
prayer
circles
going
on.
I
was
brought
up
in
the
church
and
know
my
way
around
them,
so
I
quietly
passed
the
groups
of
women,
quietly
headed
to
the
back
of
the
church,
out
of
most
peoples
line
of
sight
and
stood
there
to
pray
(post
covid,
I
keep
my
contact
of
surfaces
in
public
areas
minimal).
I
was
dressed
in
a
long
sleeved
loose
flowing
knee
length
tunic
and
loose
pants
-
so
its
not
like
I
was
skimpily
dressed.
None
of
the
women
in
the
circles
gave
me
a
second
look.
I'd
just
started
to
pray
at
the
back
of
the
church
-
away
from
the
groups
congregated
at
the
front
and
suddenly
an
officious
looking
lady
bustled
up
to
me
and
started
berating
me
loudly
for
disturbing
the
groups
that
were
praying.
I
quietly
told
her
that
I
just
wanted
to
pray
and
she
started
ranting
louder.
She
shouted
that
I
was
a
distraction
to
the
women
who
were
trying
to
focus,
when
she
was
the
one
creating
the
scene.
I
did
not
want
to
subject
myself
to
such
negativity
and
I
just
left.
The
female
ushers
at
the
door
looked
extremely
embarrassed
at
this
lady's
behavior
and
gave
me
rueful
half
smiles.
I've
no
idea
what
upset
the
woman,
but
I've
never
been
screamed
at
in
such
a
manner
and
definitely
not
in
a
House
of
God.
This
was
a
terrible
interaction
and
left
me
feeling
horridly
upset.
Fortunately,
visiting
the
St
Joseph's
Church
further
down
the
road
more
than
made
up
for
it,
the
nuns
were
so
serene
and
welcoming
and
being
able
to
pray
in
quiet
contemplation
there,
helped
restore
my
equilibrium.
