RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY

EW appropriately celebrated the Wayne Lyman Morse federal courthouse in EW’s Design Issue (3/8). Troubling to me was Bob Keefer’s stating that District Judge Michael Hogan is, or was, “an evangelical Christian spearheading the project …”

I have spent many hours inside the wonderful courthouse litigating federal matters. There is nothing on or in the courthouse that could be interpreted by anyone as homage to any religion.

Thus, it appears to me that Keefer’s comment about Judge Hogan’s religious beliefs was gratuitous and inappropriate.
