Our cherished stained-glass windows, which include six from the famous Tiffany studios, tell the story of Christ and his apostles, along with the saints of old. They provide a beautiful and sacred backdrop for life among the modern-day saints who make up our similarly vibrant and colorful congregation.
This lecture by Josh Probert, PhD, was delivered at All Saints' on February 1, 2020 as part of a Tiffany Talk and Tour featuring the windows of All Saints', First Presbyterian, and North Avenue Presbyterian in Atlanta.
