Sunday Church Series - Let There Be Peace


I was down at Kelly Ingram Park recently and had a chance to photograph the 16th Street Baptist Church.  This church has seen its share of tragedy. This peace pole adjacent to the church speaks volumes.

Oi, yes, may that church know only peace from now on.

I am used to seeing peace poles with each side a different language. The wording on yours is new to me.

Dina,
We were thinking of putting a peace pole at the school where I taught and this reminded me of the ones we saw. This may not technically be one but certainly conveys the same message.

Anything we can do to advocate for peace should be done. Nice image Virginia.

Not sure I've ever seen a peace pole before but what a great idea. I like the angle from which you've taken this shot, V.

Bonjour V!
Quite a cool peace pole! Seems like I've seen similar ones in different places......

Such a wonderful statement of peace...even more powerful when you know the history of the church...

The contrary is just not acceptable.
