Dear AlpheecaStars,
Thank you for your help.
My interpretation of [in] according to the definition of dictionary.
In dictionary, here [in]: (with the name of a place connected with an activity) attending for the usual purpose;
So I give my way to [in]: an intended aim towards which the action or thing directed.
in church praying = church is an intended
