Wait a minute.
this collection was to benefit what? :
SAINT edwards park.
Do the organizers realize the park has an inherently "religious" name.
Shouldn't the park name have to be changed if the brick had to be purged of anything religious?????

The Freedom from Religion Foundation is probably already contemplating it. As far as I can tell, their ultimate goal if to completley eliminate ANY reference to ANY religion in ANY venue, public or private.

Do the organizers realize the park has an inherently "religious" name. Of course they do. I used to live a stone's throw from St, Edward's. It's a very large park, possibly 1 square mile or more?, from near the top of Finn Hill down to Lake Washington. It was once a Catholic seminary.
The last time I was there, the several-story seminary building (residence, school, etc.) was still standing, though seemingly in little if any use. Not far from it (on separately-owned land) was a Catholic church where a friend was married in the 80s. The signs I see out in front of the entrance road to both now hint that the church may have departed as well, but as I haven't been there in over 13 years I can't say for sure.
