More than 1,000 intricately folded paper doves now soar through the sanctuary of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, inviting moments of wonder, reflection, and reverence for all who enter. This breathtaking installation, inspired by similar works gracing renowned cathedrals around the world, celebrates the centennial of Peachtree Road UMC and is free for all to experience through the end of June.
Doves in a sweeping, upward flight symbolize hope, peace, and possibility. The doves appear to ascend from the back balcony, flowing through the sanctuary and rising into the cupola, capturing the feeling of transcendence.
“The dove is a beloved symbol of our faith, a representation of God’s spirit and presence,” shares Rev. Bill Britt. “We are honored to share this exhibit with worshipers and guests, allowing these beautiful doves to inspire hope and connection within our sanctuary’s walls for the months ahead.”
Peachtree Road UMC invites everyone to experience the beauty and spirituality of the installation. Docent-led tours offer insights into the symbolism that fills the sanctuary, providing an immersive experience of this remarkable milestone in Peachtree Road UMC’s history.
