A person stands at a wooden pulpit inside a church, speaking into a microphone. The pulpit is covered with a white cloth featuring a gold cross. Behind them, large wooden-framed stained glass windows dominate the background. A row of lit candles is visible to the right. Another person wearing glasses and a white jacket sits behind a partition to the left, listening attentively. The speaker wears a “Love Canal” shirt, indicating the context likely relates to the environmental and public health activism surrounding the Love Canal crisis.
