IE-----many are donated by specific organizations with no record except the Stained window. <BR/><BR/>For example----I know of a local window that was donated by the "Posaune" (Brass) choir in Appleton in 1900. <BR/><BR/>In fact ----it would be a great project for someone to photograph (in the correct sunlight) the Stained glass windows in Appleton and publish them in a book. <BR/><BR/>Even when local churches are remodled stained glass windows are moved to a differnt spot of the church and saved.Halibuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07131774369058978246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-48532437144293188272009-04-10T21:15:00.000-05:002009-04-10T21:15:00.000-05:00Jeff, the people in the congregation aren't sleep...Jeff, the people in the congregation aren't sleeping when you speak. You just bring the Holy Ghost so powerfully, that when it hits them, they just pass out, like when Ammon preached to Lamoni, and Aaron to Lamoni's father.Bookslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077778974473538408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-53266877969942532922009-04-10T20:51:00.000-05:002009-04-10T20:51:00.000-05:00What a great analogy!The San Diego Temple has exte...What a great analogy!<BR/><BR/>The San Diego Temple has extensive textured glass, but it is used in squares on angle, and not used in a picture form.<BR/><BR/>I'm so grateful that I decided to see the view from inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-45300482953602270832009-04-10T17:27:00.000-05:002009-04-10T17:27:00.000-05:00A few ward buildings have it, and several temples ...A few ward buildings have it, and several temples do, such as the Nauvoo Temple. I think the cost is a key factor. For temples, where cost is less of a concern, I think it often doesn't fit the function and purposes of the temple rooms, so probably isn't common for that reason. That's my guess. <BR/><BR/>I love stained glass windows - for short visits as a tourist. Not sure that they really fit all that well into LDS worship. If we kept the lights low enough to really appreciate stained glass windows, we'd have even more people falling asleep during our meetings, especially when I'm speaking.Jeff Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776493593387402607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-72287419506121746202009-04-10T13:35:00.000-05:002009-04-10T13:35:00.000-05:00Does the LDS church commonly use stained-glass in ...Does the LDS church commonly use stained-glass in its architecture (in meeting houses or temples?).
