Yeah, well most of the churches I've been in are in English villages or Cathedrals throughout Europe, or the Church of the Sepulchre in Jerusalem also smaller churches in Greece, Italy...

I did drop in on a church service in Milan in a church that looked like it belonged in Greece or somewhere. Leader of the ceremony was reading from some text facing the congregation, must have been a Catholic church I suppose.

I have been in churches I have liked sometimes. One I liked was in Tijuana (one in Milan too). Full of people just dropping in and praying. I don't think I was ever inside a church in the United States though or Australia for that matter. I was in St Pauls cathedral in London once at night and there was some choir singing going on underground with the interior lit up. That was quite spectacular.

Growing up in England the tiny minority of non-Christians where I lived were excused the compulsory daily prayers and religious education in state schools that probably put a lot of people off religion and church there.
----------------------------------
In Orthodox Synagogues the person leading the service stands on a stage in the middle of the synagogue facing forward, though in very small places maybe at the front facing forward. The priests face the congregation when they actually have a role (blessing the congregation) which is only on festival/holidays outside Israel.
