It's an odd plaza for a church. Open, inviting and relaxing. Lots of people enjoying the grounds, kid's and adults with toy boats in the reflection pond and lots of people hanging around the fountain. There were even sunbathers, couples relaxing and lots of places to sit and be sociable. We took the tours. The Maparium changed my perspective of the planet Earth. The church history is a glimpse into an interesting period of history, a person and a movement/religion. I met nice inviting informative people, but nobody tried to convert me or witness to me. What I learned and experienced is consistent with what I have experienced with the ChristIan Scientists I know: open minded and inclusive. If you have been experiencing shopping overload at the nearby mall, you will enjoy some peaceful time at the plaza. Doing the Church thing is optional, but please visit the Maparium.
