Church
Established term. NEVER use 廟 (folk/Daoist/Buddhist temple, e.g. Wong Tai Sin, Man Mo Temple) or 祠堂 (a clan ancestral hall, central to Pearl River Delta village life). 教會 is specific enough but must be clearly introduced for readers whose only religious-gathering-place vocabulary is temple- or clan-hall-based.
