The highest order of creation is man, in whom God has placed the responsibility of administering His world. The response of man is - at its best - vision and idealism. Man comes from the earth; there is pain of birth when he is born into a family; adolescence. Man grows from childhood into an awareness that even though the power of the Trinity, from which all life and well-being flows, surrounds us. He must seek also a spiritual maturity and fulfillment by his own efforts. He climbs the tree of knowledge. His endeavors are made either more or less difficult by his worldly fortune, expressed here by the radiating wheel-like form around the base of the tree. Green, in both windows 1 & 2, is used to symbolize growth. IN THANKSGIVING |
