I believe that one of the most significant image/scene presented in the movie is when the church is put up. It doesnt seem to be like a beatiful monument quite yet, but it shows so much more. It shows how the town has changed, a change of chaos to unity. Wyatt really shows leadership skills when entering and leading Tombstone to success.
We enter Tombstone almost immediately in the film and are assured that the town is a typical chaotic western town. Almost right away Wyatt realizes that the town sheriff doesnt enforce the law and this is why so many things can be done without a penalty. A lack in leadership is what the town seemed to have, which Wyatt imediately shows when arresting the drunk indian shooting crazily causing a ruckus. He shows the town that right there and then that he was the man to lead the town to success and so be it, they gave him the sheriffs job.
Throughout the time period that Wyatt manages Tombstone it gets a new facelift. Everyones attitude changed when there was someone to follow. The Church scene really shows us the unification that the town gained throughout this experience. It shows that they all had to come together and do something, and not fight about differences. The towns people seemed to have benefited very much with Wyatt as sheriff. He turned Tombstone around from a negative to a positive. The church shows the unity and teamwork that the towns people put in to make it showing the drastic change they have gained.

Clayton,
I never really realized until i read your post that there was a significant lack of leadership in the town, and that the sheriff really didn't do anything. I guess that'd be an important point to make so that the viewers can consider the chaoticness of the town to the characters. nice work
Claytor, I also believe that the construction of the church was one of the more important scenes in the film. In a way it acted like the resolution because it showed the town had changed and that leadership and morals were now in existence. It proved that Wyatt served his duty as sheriff and improved the town as a whole.
Clayton,
I liked your post and i thought you brought up some very good points about the plot and some deeper connotations of some of the symbols in the movie. I agree with you and matt becuase the church scene in my opinion was the most important in the plot of the movie (besides the OK Corale). Although very subtle it has a very deep undertone in how the city is changing becuase of Wyatt
