Celebrating Interfaith Friendship.
In a little park just north of Tulsa's Boston Avenue Methodist Church stands a statue of three young people joined in a dance of friendship -- a Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim. The statue was created by artist Phyllis Mantik of Stillwater. It depicts a Jewish boy wearing the star of David, a Christian girl wearing a cross, and a Muslim boy wearing traditional Muslim clothing. The children are dancing in a circle holding an olive branch. The statue was dedicated in September, 2006 to honor commitment to the the Trialogue Series, a forum for Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
The church is at 1301 S. Boston Ave in downtown Tulsa. A news article from the Tulsa World can be read HERE.
