Building Name: Second Reformed Church

City: Kalamazoo

Subject/Title of Window: Covenant

Brief Description of Subject: The overall theme of this window, which is part of a five window series, is God is the light of the world. A rainbow is seen near the bottom of the window stretching over from the first window. This symbolizes the covenant that God made with Noah after the flood. At the end of the rainbow is a pillar of fire and cloud that guided the Israelites through the wilderness toward the promise land. Mt. Sinai is depicted in the center of the window, the light at the top of the mountain represents where the ten commandments were recieved and the presence of the Lord. Relevant passages from the Bible include: Genesis 9:12-13, 15,17 & 18,Exodus 19:5, 16 &18, Psalm 119:105.

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
