"According to the Emmanuel Gospel Center, a Boston-based Christian ministry, about 250 of the 483 Christian churches known to operate in Boston and Cambridge are non-English-speaking congregations.
"At least 30 languages are spoken in Boston churches. Among the most prevalent are Spanish, Portuguese, and Creole, although Korean, Cantonese, and Khmer are becoming increasingly popular.
