Date of Window: 1967

Subject/Title of Window: West Window

Brief Description of Subject: The stained glass windows, in abstract movement of lights and color, symbolize the work of the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity. They attempt to convey in expressionistic play of color alone without obvious and realistic references, this central mystery of the faith.

From the west window emerges the Cross of God the Son, Redeemer: “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Gal 6:14) The horizontal cross bar member moves through the entire window, symbolizing Time and History: there vertical member symbolizes God’s thrust into time and history in the incarnation. Death and Resurrection of His Son. Recalling the redemptive blood of Christ, red is the accent color of this window.

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
