Description:

The central panel of this window depicts Jesus' teaching of the Sermon on the Mount. The other two panels reflect our traditional background, our inheritance through Methodism.

In the left side is John Wesley, the preacher. The image above his head may be St. Mary's Church where he first preached, and in which churchyard he is buried. At the bottom of the right hand panel is John Wesley on horseback, because serving as an itinerant minister, he did most of his travelling in this manner.

In the right hand panel is Charles Wesley, John's younger brother, who was a partner with him in the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century and was, of course, the great Hymn writer. Above Charles is depicted a musical instrument and some sheets of music.

At the bottom of the left hand panel is a drawing of Christ Church College, University of Oxford, the college which both men attended, and the college where Methodism had its origin.

This window, therefore, reflects our Methodist tradition in the United Church.

Notes:

Mr. Beattie was an original Trustee of the congregation and a very active member of the congregation and of the Session as well.
