This can be found in the Guardian Angel Cathedral off the Las Vegas Strip, where I served as an altar boy in elementary school. I found it in the photobucket page of someone named Mansfield Fox. I had been looking for a photo of this unique stained glass since having completed the manuscript for my forthcoming book, Return to Rome: Confessions of An Evangelical Catholic (Brazos Press, 2009), which will be released in November of this year. I've created a website for the book, ReturntoRome.com, which you can find here.

It's evocative of cataclysm, like a German Experssionist painting from the interwar period. It reminds me of the set lines in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, or a painting by Otto Dix. There is, in fact, not a single identifiably Christian thing about it.

That can be said about the entire Cathedral. I went there once, while en route to Ft. Irwin for a TDY, I flew into Vegas, and stopped in for Mass before driving to Ft. Irwin. That place was unsettling, in fact it gave me the creeps. There is a mosaic of a sorts of some ... being... on the back wall behind the altar that I think was supposed to be an angel but seemed to me to be like a demonic harlequin. The whole place seems like it should be a worship house for a cult like Scientology, not the Catholic Church.

The Church building looks like That 70's show, but, I must say, the homily was rock solid, and though they do the Haugen-Haas music selection, the Cantor did it about as well as can be done.
Overall, I was quite impressed with the priests who serve there.

Yeah, but to me, this one better reflects the whole truth and purpose behind the Catholic Church...

I like it. It looks fairly different from most stained glass mosaics I come across. http://stained-glass-review.blogspot.com/2009/10/crafts-stained-glass.html

Glass furniture on your home can embody tables, cupboard doorways, pantries, showers, sliding glass doors. There's furnishings comprised of glass for the office resembling desks, glass office partitions, sliders and entryways. Discovering glass furniture products in your home shouldn't be tough however finding the top quality you deserve could take slightly more time and research.

I really like this window. Church stained glass windows are often just a variation on an old worn out theme. I like the classic look and all, but having a different look doesn't mean the classic nature of the church's doctrine has changed. I like that it communicates religiosity while still moving into the 20th century style.
