First Congregational, Old West End

My moratorium on church pictures still holds, but I certainly wasn't about to pass an opportunity to get inside two of the churches in the Old West End, this week, much less to see Tiffany windows. I'll post some of them one of these days, but I couldn't resist posting these.
In my usual, contemptible style I ended up liking the Lederle and Geissler windows at First Congregational even more than the Tiffany.
I like the way they used rough chunks of glass in the border.

That oval piece at the left isn't flat, it's a cabachon.
This is actually one of the older Tiffany windows brought from the old downtown church. Threw it in anyway.
