Tolerance Poster in the altar room of St. Markus München Church

As a part of the Tolerance Poster Show in Kunstareal München District, in Germany, the St. Markus München church displayed Tolerance posters on the construction scaffoldings around it.

On top of that, the minister of the church also decided to display the poster by Angie Wang, a US designer, in the altar room of the church.

The church seems to be the appropriate and the right place for tolerance.

We are thankful to the minister for doing this.
