Some seem to be reviewing the religion and not this location, here. Given this isn't really a forum for religious scrutiny, as a neighbor of the Church, I can say they do a very nice job keeping this public space clean, attractive, and safe. The architecture in and around the plaza is quite beautiful. The fountain is a nice respite in the summer for neighborhood kids to cool off in. The reflecting pool at night makes for a really nice place to sit and talk with a friend or two. The Mapparium -- a large stained glass globe you stand inside -- is worth seeing once, thought the multimedia video presentation about the Church organization that accompanies it will not be of interest to the casual visitor and tends to distract from the fascinating glass work.
