History
Windows - G.M. Dunn:
The memorial window in the east wail of the south transept is the memorial
window to the second Minister of the church, the Reverend George McLeod Dunn was
Minister from 1927 until his retirement in 1959.
The theme of the window portrays the life of a man devoted to his calling, who
loved all people and was, in turn, loved by them, who understood their
sufferings and their limitations. His love of preaching, his knowledge of and
his passion for God.
The inscription in the window reads “To the Glory of God and in loving
remembrance of The Reverend George McLeod Dunn, Minister of this Church,
1927-1959; much beloved by all.”
The main figure is that of St. Paul in an attitude of preaching and the ship on
the right hand side denotes Paul’s pilgrimages.
The kneeling figure on the left hand side is that of Saul shielding his eyes
from the light of God. The two Angels at the top of the window denote the joy
and happiness of Heaven where the dove, in downward flight symbolises the
presence of the Holy Spirit.
The lower portion of the window denotes the workings of God showing the figure
of Moses with a background of the Burning Bush symbolising suffering and
martyrdom.
The hand and the light of God are depicted on the right hand side. The star
symbolises the guiding light on the left hand side.
The text “By my voice I might teach others” is from the gospel of St. Paul.
This window was dedicated on the 6th December 1964.
