					<description><![CDATA[At Pitt street Uniting Church we are working hard on being appropriately welcoming. We shared this article on our FB page a few days ago. So I would appreciate it if you could remove the photo of the interior of Pitt Street and replace it with something more generic.

EDITOR: Hi Margaret, this article isn&#039;t implying that Pitt Street Uniting Church isn&#039;t a welcoming church—the image is just so the article will appear properly in the website theme. I see that the Pitt Street Facebook page has shared a similar article, and it&#039;s great to see Uniting Churches working to be more welcoming. We&#039;ve used this image because it is one of the few readily-available images that is free for us to reuse. I&#039;m afraid that whatever image of a church we use, someone goes there, and we could get the same comment from them. We thought it was better to use an image of a Uniting Church rather than risking the implication that we are telling other denominations how to run their services. —Rohan]]></description>
