The theme of the window design is the Trinity present at the creation of
the universe. As in the other windows, the Trinity is represented by
overlapping white wings. Around the Trinity, we see the beginnings of
the created order; form out of chaos, substance out of the void. Below
the wings is a symbolic representation of the living earth, woven
together from the primal elements. The frame of the individual window
panes forms the symbol known to Jewish people as the Magen David, the
Star of David, and to other ancient traditions as the hexagram. Cultures
have interpreted the hexagram as representing unity and harmony, six
compass directions, or the contrast of fire and water. For us, this
symbol calls to mind Christianity's roots in Judaism and the unity of
the created order. IN MEMORY OF BISHOP GEORGE SELWAY |
