Rev. William C. R. Sheridan, Bishop, and The Rev. David L. Hyndman, Vicar, participating. In the above photo Bishop Sheridan and Rev. Hyndman appear with Mrs. Gray, widow of the late Bishop Gray to whom the window is dedicated. The Rt. Rev. Campbell Gray was second Bishop of the Diocese of Northern Indiana from 1925 to his death in 1944. From the dedication program: “The faceted glass window dedicated to the glory of God and in memory of Bishop Gray carries out thethemes of Our Triumphant Lord, His Church and All Saints. \J. “The Victorious Lamb is the central image in the window; He stands in a boat, the symbol of His cintron. The mast and beam form a cross, suggesting also the Chi Rho Christogram and the shepherd’s staff of His authority. From the mast flies the banner of His resurrection triumph. “The circle of palms and the many crowns symbolize the victory of all the saints who died in hope and promise of Christ, the company of the faithful, the cloud of witnesses. “The wavy lines moving through the background relate to the boat symbol of the church, the ocean of Time and History, and also to Lake Wawasee which fronts All Saints* church. “The window is the gift of the Women of All Saints’ Episcopal church and a number of other special friends of the congregation.**
