Faith on the square







In the few months I’ve been doing this blog, I’ve seen most of the world’s major religions represented on the square. Signs aren’t permitted inside, so, people usually gather on the sidewalk at the entrances. They go to great expense to prepare elaborate signs, and materials to express their faith. It takes courage to put yourself in front of the public and express your beliefs. It’s a tremendous thing to have a public square in the middle of the city, where people can peacefully demonstrate their beliefs. We should be proud to have a remarkable place like Pioneer Courthouse Square.
