Dallas developed as diverse people came to the city with ambitions and aspirations. They also brought their religious convictions. And they expressed all of it in architecture and art. Many religious traditions are observed by believers at their homes. Jews share Passover meals, Muslims break the Ramadan fast, and Hindus have shrines in homes where they live. Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians and others also practice their spirituality in places of prayer they create for their constituents and for the communities that they serve. They build structures that respect the texts they treasure and honor the history though which they have traveled. Some of their buildings dominate city blocks. Others are intimate and elegantly simple. – William B. Lawrence, Perkins School of Theology, SMU
