Dr. Edward Hewitt:
I was talking to our architect about you. That is to say, I was talking about you and our new chapel. The one we're going to build. It calls for two stained-glass windows and it occurred to me we might try for something indigenous to this particular area. I mean, the mountains, the sea, whatever it is that makes this part of the world unique. That would seem to call for a local artist and I was... I was thinking of you.
Laura Reynolds:
Well, but I am an atheist. How could I design something that glorifies a creed I don't believe in?
Dr. Edward Hewitt:
Do you think Orozco believed in Christianity? Or Rivera, or Portinari, or Chagall? Some of their best work is found in churches. It's not at all rare to find the religious vision more purely apprehended by the non-believer than by the saint.
Laura Reynolds:
Why... Why do you say that?
Dr. Edward Hewitt:
Well, saints tend to be myopic, whereas the atheist is almost always innocent. And innocence is what we want in this chapel.
