Tonight I went to the Fourth Presbyterian Church for a muti religious memorial ceremony for September 11th. I have attended normal services at this church a few times before and I have really enjoyed the service. Tonight was extra special though because for once there were multiple religions being worshiped in the same place. It simply made sense. The religions represented were Christianity, Judaism, and Muslim. Each religion was represented in the service and every lesson applied to every one. It was beautiful to see diversity in the church and hear different songs and prayers. What each religious leader who spoke was really calling for is peace, understanding and appreciation for other religions not condemnation.
This picture was taken after the service. I usually see the church during the day but I may like it even more at night when the beauty is emphasized by dramatic lighting. While some may see the church as intimidating I find it welcoming. I have a fondness for beautiful churches and this one never disappoints.

I love this picture because of the lighting, vantage point and the subject matter. I think I am also drawn to photos of religious buildings because I photograph the Bahai Temple. I too find churches and other religious places to be welcoming.
