Lafayette hillside memorial

The Lafayette hillside memorial is a collection of religious symbols, accompanied by a large sign, in Lafayette, California. The memorial commemorates soldiers killed in the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan, with the sign containing a running total of the death count as recorded by the US Department of Defense. The monument began to raise controversy in November 2006.The hillside, overlooking State Route 24 and Lafayette BART station, was owned by 81-year-old Louise Clark, widow of Johnson Clark, until she died. Johnson Clark was a local developer and World War II veteran. The monument was erected in late 2006 by Jeffrey Heaton, a long-time anti-war protester, and Louise Clark. Their first 19 crosses were quickly removed by vandals. In November 2006 Heaton and Clark re-added the crosses onto Clark's property, this time with 300 crosses and a large sign that read: "In Memory of 2839 U.S. Troops Killed In Iraq". By February 26, 2007, the number of crosses, mixed with Stars of David, Islamic crescents, and other religious symbols, had passed 2,500. Crosses have been added by volunteers and some paid for by the Lamorinda Peace Group and Grandmothers for Peace. Protests of the memorial have been led by Lafayette Flag Brigade which organizes a competing, remembrance flag display annually on September 11.The city ordinance allowed a 32-square-foot (3.0 m2) sign on the property and did not limit the number of crosses. The organizers initially had an approximately 64-square-foot (5.9 m2) sign, but reduced it to 32 square feet (3.0 m2) to comply with the city ordinance. The sign is updated every week to show the new official death toll for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.As of 2014, a permanent memorial has been proposed on the site although the original intent was for the display to come down when U.S. troops came home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

St. Anselm's Church (Lafayette, California)

St. Anselm's Church in Lafayette, California is an Episcopal church noted for its architecture. In 1959, the Episcopal bishop of California, James Pike, hired Olav Hammarstrom to design St. Anselm's. Hammarstrom was a Finnish architect who worked with Alvar Aalto and later with Eero Saarinen and The Architects' Collaborative. Hammarstrom worked with the San Francisco architectural firm of Marquis and Stoller on St. Anselm's.The concept for St. Anselm's was based on the Chapel of St. James the Fisherman in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, also designed by Hammarstrom. The church's interior features exposed redwood and cedar beams and columns. Using a "church-in-the-round" approach, the square sanctuary is in the center of the structure surrounded by redwood pews. The church seats approximately 450 parishioners in an octagonal space with everyone seated within seven rows from the altar. In December 1960, Time wrote that St. Anselm's design, in which the clergy and choir sit among the people, "appeals to Americans' democratic instincts."Ground was broken on the church in May 1960, and it was dedicated in October 1960. After seeing the completed church, Bishop Pike noted, "At St. Anselm's, the congregation is not the audience for a performing clergy and choir. The clergy, choir and congregation perform together, and God is the audience."A history published by St. Anselm's notes that the building's design was covered extensively in the news, before and after it was completed. Coverage included the December 1962 issue of Better Homes and Gardens and the December 26, 1960 issue of Time magazine, as well as San Francisco Bay Area newspapers, the cover of the September 1959 issue of "Pacific Churchman", the October 1960 issue of "This Earth" magazine.
