It's amazing that the founder of the church, Reverend Andrew, has a 10 square meter room, which is his bedroom, office and kitchen. He has no less than millions of money, but he has lived in this humble house all his life and lived a simple life. It's really admirable. In order to show the world that his heart is selfless and innocent, priest Ender asked people around him to dissect his heart after his death. Now his dissected heart is still on display in a sealed glass window.
