The Church in Oklahoma Window

We selected this stained glass window as the logo for the 78th Annual Episcopal Church Women's Conference andBishop's Day because we consider this to be our “home”window. The Rt. Rev. Francis Key Brooke, first bishop of the Missionary District of Oklahoma, is the focal point.Visible in the top of the window is the Diocesan shield.Also included in this area is a typical Indian village with an Indian sun-worshipper astride his pony. Research indicates that a tribal village of Caddo Indians, who lived in tepees, occupied the land where Grace Episcopal Church now stands.

In the lower right section are the symbols on the flag of theState of Oklahoma which was designed by Ponca Citynative, Mrs. George Fluke. Mistletoe, the statefloral emblem, is draped over the arch of this window.

In the base panel is the first church building owned by thiscongregation located at Seventh and Central Avenue. It was from this building that the move was made to thepresent church at Thirteenth and Grand.

Nearly two years went into designing and manufacturing the window which is the work of J. Wippell & Co. Ltd., Exeter, England, a company which dates back to 1790.

When this window was installed in the 1950s, Rector Thomas Moehle remarked, “It is expected that thiswindow will prove more interesting and meaningful tomembers of Grace Church and the community than anyin this stained glass series.” This example is just one of the vast number of exquisitelydetailed stained glass windows which enhance Grace Episcopal Church and the Christian Education Building. We look forward to having you tour our magnificent place of worship!

DETAILED DESCRIPTION - FRIDAY, APRIL 24:10:15 a. m. In the Parish Hall, -The Rev. Dee Wellington Bright, Sr. - This is a moving story of a priest, Fr. Dee Bright, and his family caught in the cross-fire of a very bloody civil war while serving in the mission field of the Gospel in their homeland of Liberia. It is a narrative of the persecution and near death experiences and hardship encountered by a family stranded in the ravages of a military crisis and the eventful Divine Intervention that brought them through. It chronicles the circumstances of their rescue as Fr. Bright was airlifted by U. S. Marines and their dramatic relocation to the United States where he now continues his ministry as an Episcopal priest.

1:00 p. m. In the Nave, the Rev. Dr. Lee Stephens will be exploring spiritual disciplines for “listening.” This will be a practical approach with resources to help keep the process going for individuals and parishes. Time will also be given for questions, answers and sharing - “Listening as a Way of Life.”

8

2:00 p.m. In the Nave, the Rev. Debora Jennings – A offering from the ECW Devotional Life Chairman

3:00 p.m. In the Parish Hall – Come meet Wesley and learn about the work he has been called to do as a certified registered therapy dog. “If You Call Me I Will Come.”

3:45 p.m. Marland Mansion Tour – E. W. Marland, former governor and Grace Church senior warden, was an oil baron who built his “Palace on the Prairie” – a 43,561 square foot mansion with four levels and 55 rooms. Designed by J. Duncan Forsyth, this magnificent showplace features a European-inspired interior created by Italian artisans. Elevators are available. 6:45 p.m. The Rev. Dr. Lee Stephens will present “Listening Isn't Easy, but Necessary.” In today's world of noise, distractions and stress, listening is difficult –and actually an excuse. But the problem runs deeper because we have forgotten how to listen and/or lost the desire. Yet we say prayer is crucial for the Christian life. Let's go beyond the basics to the essentials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION – SATURDAY, APRIL 25:9:00 a.m. In the Nave - The Rev. Dr. Lee Stephens will present “Listening From

the Center.” In this session we will explore how to move from the “rim to the hub” --from the periphery of our lives to the center. The mentors for this process are many, but call us to that “something more” in the spiritual journey that requires both desire and discipline. However, if we are willing to truly listen, our lives will be transformed toward the Christ Life.

10:00 a.m. St. Crispin's Conference Center – a brief description of their building improvement project.

10:20 a.m. Tour of Grace Episcopal Church – a view and description of the many exquisite stained glass windows and unique history of the church. “Get to Know Grace.”
