Church windows at St. Ambrose use it extensively. - St. Ambrose 'Something Different' 10 Windows Symbolize Gods Love Symbolism is a part of daily life and is heavily used in churches. Among the more outstanding examples of its use in Salt Lake City are the windows of St. Ambrose Catholic Church, East. The sanctuary is lit by 10 windows, each of which symbolizes one of the different ways God shows His love for man, said the Rev Msgr. William E. Vaughn, pastor When considered as a unit, they also have relationship. Each consists of several small items designed in Cathedral glass surrounded by patterns of chipped glass set in cement, he said. One window portrays the creation. Others portray the the and Elevation Fall, Human the Redemption, tne Channels of Church, of the Sacrament Grace, Love, Human Love, the Mother of Christ, Ecumenism and Fulfillment m Heaven. of time before their full significance can be realized. The Redemption window, for example, shows a dove, head down, descending from Heaven Its beak touches waves of yellow, blue and gold glass stretching upward from a cement cross in the base of the window. The windows must be seen and studied over a long period Traditional Symbols w indow The Ecumenical 1986-23r- d Arranged around the cross and dove are a Star of David, the Nativity, the Stone Tablets of the Law of Moses and the Annunciation Scene.

Long sweeping waves of colors connect the windows to one another, ending in the center window on each side and in the two windows on the ends of the rows. These symbolize the struggles of life, Msgr. Vaughn said. The windows involved 800 colors of glass and graduate from cooler colors at the back of the church to warm colors at the front near the altar, he said. The windows were made by Studio, Scottsdale, Ariz., he said. When we built this church, we wanted something different. something away from the traditional portrayal of Biblical scenes or of saints lives. said Msgr. Vaughn. St. Ambrose Church was built about 10 years ago. It is open constantly now for visitors who might want to worship or simply see the windows, he said. Glassart EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH (Wicon$fi Synod) So.

Whenever and wherever a human being reflects reverently on the greatness of God, and considers how puny and unimportant is everything else by comparison, that person is engaged in worship. It doesn't have to be in a and still church building less m the formal setting of a structured religious service. You can worship God on the top of a mountain . . or by a plunging, splashing waterfall . . or on the shore of a h''e when the sun first peeks over or in the . . the horizon midst of all sorts of everyday and clamor, when hurly-burlreminds you how something much you have to be thankful for. Without taking anything from the depth and validity of these experiences of worship, it remains true that for most people, most of the time, a church service is the best way to focus your mind and affections on God. If going to church doesn't for seem to do anything you. it may help to bear in mind that you arent there to but to give get something something.
