- Notes
- "I was fascinated with Patricia Robertson's article ('The little-known "greatest stained glass artist of our time"', Sept. 2017, p. 19) on a memorial window in St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, Ottawa, and the brief but touching account of the artist, Wilhelmina Geddes, of Northern Ireland. Whenever I visit a church, I try to take a moment to observe the stained glass windows. Sometimes they are merely decorative, an amber glow of sunshine in the sanctuary, but the truly inspiring are filled with biblical lessons, symbols, tributes and testimonies that I suspect are often overlooked in this busy age we live in".
