When the statue ​ — which stands over 16 feet [5 m] tall — ​ was unveiled, I was not present because the ceremony was patriotic and was not in keeping with my Bible - based convictions.
Selle rohkem kui viiemeetrise kuju avamisel ma aga ei osalenud, sest sel puhul peetud patriootiline tseremoonia polnud kooskõlas minu piibliliste veendumustega.
