Update! Jeff Fisher, rector of St. Alban's, sent me the following: This window was bought by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of St. Alban's Church. It's called "Christ the Carpenter"
"Is not this the carpenter's son?" (Matthew. 13:55) The array of carpenters' tools pictured here symbolize the Lord's humanity.In the left panel is the saw; in the right, the protractor, ruler, square and hammer. The bottom panel shows the block plane. These are arranged to suggest the Chi Rho, from the Greek Christos. The people who asked "is not this the carpenter's son?" would not accept His divinity. We must not forget His humanity: in the years after His death, resurrection and ascension, the young Church established the duality of the nature of Christ; that He is both man and God in one Person. This is one of the mysteries of faith.
The interior of the church is very traditional.
JoAnn, just love all these pics you are posting. This church is so different from the one we have here in our village. It's so interesting to see Waco through your lens!

What a beautiful church, JoAnn!! I know exactly what you mean - when I turned into the entrance of our new church and saw it, it was like a chime ringing in my heart - when I walked inside the old church (c. 1880) - and especially when I entered the Day School... I knew I had found our church home, and my daughters' school!!
