Stories in Glass

The Muelder Prayer Chapel, located on the third floor of the School of Theology, was named for Walter D. Muelder, Dean Emeritus.  Dedicating himself to the intellectual and spiritual leadership of the School of Theology, Dr. Muelder served as dean for 27 years, from 1945-1972, and has had a major impact on the development of Christian ethics and ecumenism.  
 
The charm of the chapel is due largely to the eight stained glass windows created by Wilbur Herbert Burnham, which recall the life and influence of outstanding Christian figures, ranging from Orthodox to Roman Catholicism and to Protestantism.  In this web page, we explore the history and gifts of each of these mystics.  Their stories, etched in the glass of the Muelder Chapel windows, inspire us to walk in their footsteps.
