Way back in 1951 or so, the FPC in Duncan had a wonderful pastor, Pat Easterling. The church remodeled and in the process installed 16 beautiful stained glass windows, mostly depicting the life of Christ. I have read the booklet that he produced to describe the windows many times. When our new interim arrived, she saw the booklet and thought it a good idea to update it and reprint it. So we have a new book, nothing has been changed in the original book, but there are now some colored pictures and the Fellowship Hall window and the Chapel window has been included. Also, some history. It is very nice and how pleasant to see the proper use of the English language as I know it.
We had a walk through the sanctuary yesterday and read the book as we looked at the windows and I am always impressed when I look at them. They are quite traditional and the colors are so beautiful and they have a very serene look to them. No wonder people want to get married in our church, it is lovely.
Nothing will ever touch my heart quite like the painting in the front of the church in Guthrie, because I grew up looking at it every Sunday. But these windows come close.
The windows in the blog are the Trinity window on the left and the one on the right is the Bible, the Central Faith of Protestantism. That is one of the two that do not depict the actual life of Christ and the other one is the Assurance of the Triumph of Christian Faith.
Enjoy
