The angel Moroni

High atop the New York temple of the Mormon Church
Lincoln Center area, Upper West Side, New York City, USA

"Reports that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a big supporter [they contributed
$22,000,000] of California's Proposition 8 [for the banning of gay marriage] should sadden all Mormons.
Based on the unique history of Mormons, there is no religious group in our country that should be
more tolerant of 'nontraditional' forms of marriage than those of us whose ancestors were polygamist
Mormons, who were persecuted because of their 'nontraditional' marriages." Los Angeles Times, 11/1/08

FYI - That is a statue of the Mormon angel Moroni - he graces the tops of all Mormon Temples. Just cruising pBase & appreciating your album of Public art. Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing...
