The Bishops' Window
1971
Designed by
Paul Frohe of Buffalo and executed by the Tyroler Glasswerk in Innsbruck, Austria.

The lower panel shows the shield of the Diocese of Western New York. A tracery of thistle, the plant badge of Scotland, appears above and below the central figure as a reminder of the heritage of the Anglican Church of Scotland, whose Bishops consecrated the first bishop of the Episcopal Church, Samuel Seabury, after the American Revolution.

The window was designed by Paul Frohe of Buffalo and executed by the Tyroler Glasswerk in Innsbruck, Austria.

It was made in five sections, shipped here by air express and installed by Mr. Frohe in November of 1971. It was given in memory of John and Ada Herzog to honor of all the Bishops of Western New York by Wilberforce Herzog. The 100-year-old window it replaced was saved and cut into souvenir suncatchers for the 100th anniversary of the building of the church.
