Hi all - Jerry Young just shared this image with me, saying that it was forwarded from a friend of his who thought it was in a church somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Does anyone know where this is - and what the story behind it might be?! And yes, the artist either installed the window backwards, or didn't know how a front-action tuba is played!
Thanks for you help,
Dave

Now that I look more closely at the portrayal, I'm now realizing that the slogan which Christians shout out is not "Christ the King!", but rather, "Christ plays a King!"

Then that is a church worth visiting!!! (the next time I'm in Ithaca, where I haven't been yet.)
That Episcopal Church does not appear at least, as whacked out as the Episcopal Churches around here, so, maybe?

According to the Organ Historical Society, that church has a Schlicker pipe organ. I wonder what their music department is like?
