There are several pictures of the church as a ship, and I probably have more. Look under the "symbols" section and look at the symbols for the church. If you need a higher res image, contact me directly. Hi,

Thanks to Jeremiah for pointing out my web site of stained glass in the WELS. There are several pictures of the church as a ship, and I probably have more. Look under the “symbols” section and look at the symbols for the church. If you need a higher res image, contact me directly.

If there isn't one in stained glass, there is a model ship that hangs from the open rafters of the chapel (which someone once explained to me as representing 'the church' - a similar idea at the Danish college.)

Paul you might want to know that Scandinavian Lutheran buildings often included ship models as a symbol of the church and mission work... I recall St. Peters at the tip of Long Island had a ship model hanging in the nave...

Jeremiah Gumm Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:28:01 +0000 http://cyberbrethren.com/?p=2470#comment-7484 Though our church doesn't have stained glass windows, here are some examples from WELS churches in the Midwest that do have it. http://www.welsstainedglass.org/Symbols/ChurchPage.htm If you scroll down, there are three examples of ships used in stained glass windows. You can look at the actual pictures by church if you go the WELS Stained Glass main page (http://www.welsstainedglass.org). It's a pretty neat site and can provide some great examples of digital photography of stained glass windows in Lutheran churches.
