Rose Window In Bloom Again At Camp Mack

MILFORD - Every year people come from across the United States to see the Church of the Brethren historical murals in Quinter-Miller auditorium at Camp Alexander Mack.Now, after nearly a third of a century, visitors to Camp Mack may again see the round, 11-foot diameter stained glass window high above the altar in the auditorium. For years this large Rose Window at the front of Quinter-Miller was covered as its deteriorated condition was precarious.Some thought the glass may have fallen down between the wall and the outside of the building.Many had almost given up hope of ever again seeing the sun streaming through that magnificent stained glass window.People visiting the camp during the last 30 years never experienced this rose. Occasionally someone would dream of repairing the window, but the feeling was that even if a way could be found to restore the window, the cost would likely be prohibitive.And so year after year, the window remained covered.
