America’s Most Amazing Church Stained Glass Part 3: Grace United Methodist Church In Dallas
Church Stained Glass That Is Vibrant and Diverse
One thing that has always intrigued us here at Scottish Stained Glass In Dallas is the symbolism of stained glass and how it can be used to enlighten the world. While it is true that stained glass in churches is very much an art form, it is also very functional–especially in light of its symbolism. A church here in Dallas, that exemplifies these artistic and instructive elements of church stained glass is Grace United Methodist. This welcoming body and their church stained glass are our inspiration for this stained glass church profile.
Grace United Methodist Church In Dallas
The absolutely stunning Grace United Methodist Church in Dallas, Tx was built in 1903 and is a registered Dallas Landmark for good reason–it is a pillar of the community historically, religiously and artistically. In regards to their awe-inspiring stained glass windows, Grace United Methodist Church’s window style matches their philosophy–”a story of faith–one piece at a time.” This church has been through many changes throughout the years but through it all the congregation has maintained their Christian philosophy of inclusion–a sentiment which is reflected on their stained glass windows. Windows whose bright hues and ornate glasswork beautifully tells a loving story Christ and his teachings. The mix of colors and characters on the windows, while aesthetically astounding, are symbolic of diversity and acceptance and something truly outstanding to behold.
