Stained glass?
The Quincy Ward has a stained glass window. You can't tell it from the outside (they put electric lights behind it). When they were a branch, they rented an old church building to meet in. The church building has this beautiful stained glass window. As the branch grew, they became a ward and the church began to talk about building them a building. The nieghborhood where the rented church was, became poorer and more dangerous. The ward members wanted to preserve the stained glass window by moving it into their new chapel. Salt Lake said "no - Wards don't have stained glass windows". quincy Ward said, "If we don't get our window, we won't move." It took a year of negotiations but the building was built and the window installed. It does not show on the outside for several reasons, one of which is that they don't want anyone to throw rocks and break it. It is really a beautiful piece of art and we enjoyed seeing it. The Quincy members are really proud of it.
