Subject/Title of Window: The Bishop Ordains

Brief Description of Subject: The bottom portion of the window depicts a man kneeling before The Bishop to be ordained. The center portion of the window depicts the Bishop dressed in purple standing with his hand on the head of a kneeling figure.  A purple vestament is a sign of authority. The upper portion of the window depicts a miter, which is a sign of the Bishop’s office.  Two broad ribbons hang from the back of the miter, which represent the spirit and the letter of the Testaments.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
