I don't believe a direct quote from the church's own website promoting itself like an advertisement furthers the point of the article at all. I've removed it. -- Eddylyons ( talk) 16:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
The Philip Johnson designed Interfaith Peace is taking shape to not only transform landscape of Dallas but also the concept of faith.
Every work of architecture is symbolic. They are reflections of the culture and the time they serve. They are much more than their utilitarian function. Religious architecture is even more so because they are environments created to allow for concepts of extraordinary possibilities. The building that Johnson proclaimed to be “a building I have waited all my life to build” is expanding these possibilities even further.
The Interfaith Peace Chapel was designed for The Cathedral of Hope, a member of the UCC, to serve as a sacred place constructed as a symbol to promote peace and cooperation regardless of faith. The free-form, state of the art chapel is signature Johnson design with bending, twisting walls that transform the interior space to fit the needs of each event and also mirroring the open-minded, all-inclusive philosophy. There will be no predominant religious symbols inside the chapel, offering a place of mutual respect and common purpose and so that any faith tradition will be respected during individual events.
On May 17,2010 the last beam of the steel skeleton was put in place during a celebration which included blessings from leaders of Islam, Jewish, Christian and Baha’i faiths. Donna Collins, Director of the Peace Project, created seventeen World Unity Plates that symbolize each of the world’s major religions. Prints of each of these plates were sealed inside the interior walls of the Peace Chapel during construction so that everyone that enters the space will be literally surrounded by all faiths.
From concept to design, from construction through completion the Cathedral of Hope Interfaith Peace Chapel will serve as a icon for the open exchange of ideas and for all people to celebrate peace, unity and understanding.

It talks about the building not being built yet, but then describes the building as if it isn't built. This whole paragraph needs to be moved out of the introduction. There is already an existing church building that should be described before talking about its eventual replacement. Greyspeir ( talk) 21:58, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
