The Peace Fountain
by: Greg Wyatt, sculptor-in-residence of the Cathedral, 1985
The fountain's plaque is inscribed:
Peace Fountain celebrates the triumph of Good over Evil, and sets before us the world's opposing forces—violence and harmony, light and darkness, life and death—which God reconciles in his peace.
