Our circa 1907 church building has beautiful (rumored to be Tiffany) stained glass windows with one depicting Christ the Good Shepherd, and another, Christ praying in the garden. The rest of the windows are simply geometric in design. The building has always been a Presbyterian church but it has only been in the past 25 years or so that the congregation has become PCA, and we're still working on the ramifications of that within it. Our pastor is from the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland and does not care for the depictions of Christ although he appreciates the overall beauty of the windows. He says if we were ever in a position to erect a new building.....However, right now the main concern is to bring the congregation around to a more Reformed position and it's a situation akin to "eating an elephant one bite at a time" to quote our pastor.
