The Window

The stained glass window of UBC is one of the most noteworthy fixtures of the University Baptist Church sanctuary. It is also the namesake of our weekly newsletter to church members. In February of 1979, this window was donated to the church by Dr. and Mrs. Mack Vick in honor of Dr. Vick's parents, Maurice and Whit Vick.

This project was undertaken by Dr. Paul Dufour, a noted stained glass artist on the LSU faculty.​ Dr. Dufour chose to make a contrast of critical elements from Exodus 17:1-7 that he felt had particular meaning.

  • THE VOICE OF THE LORD: light colors at the top which signify enlightenment

  • THE ROCK: dark colors, which symbolize the hard place from which the soft will flow

  • WATER: opaque glass flowing from top to bottom

  • GREEN PASTURES: greens and yellows at the bottom, symbolizing water making arid land fertile
