The windows in the nave of Highland Baptist Church,
installed in 1971-72, are an artistic expression
of the church's gospel. The windows, beginning
with those closest to the pulpit, follow the spectrum
of the rainbow in their colors - red, gold, green, blue
and violet: enveloping the worshipers with the colors
of the rainbow, reminding the believers that they are
the objects of Covenant love.
The ten windows around the bottom of the nave take up
the theme of Hebrews 12:1, "Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set
before us." They depict the Apostles and representative saints
who have preceded the Church of the present.
The following descriptions of the windows were written on the occasion
of the dedication of each window by the artist, Robert Markert,
in conjunction with the pastor at that time, Don Burke.
