The document summarizes information about three places of worship: Po Lin Monastery in Hong Kong, Westminster Abbey in London, and St. John's Cathedral in Hong Kong. It provides brief fact files about the date of completion, designers, locations, and descriptions of each site. Pictures further illustrate the architecture and features of the religious buildings. The conclusion recognizes that while places of worship may differ in appearance and customs, they all influence and support their respective religions.
