Even though I can't argue that stained glass windows are pretty, I've never been much of a fan. This particular church building had a few old stained glass windows, but also a couple of plain glass windows that look as though they'd been recently replaced. Presumably the stained glass equivalents were too expensive so the cheaper clear glass alternatives were used.
The new clear glass windows looked awesome - they let in so much light, and made the building appear welcoming from the outside. I think my aversion to stained glass may simply be because (even though some would not say) I love minimalist décor, and stained glass is perhaps simply too busy for my brain to make sense of. :D
