.. but it had moved from its austere German roots long before that.
The original Spencer-Ripley was located on the corner of Goodman and Ripley Streets. When it burned, this building was erected on the corner of Culver Road and Parsells.
The austere architectural lines was mirrored by fine but unadorned craftmanship on the inside. Not so much as a cross hung at the alter, reflecting a puritan, almost Lutheran, humility in the worship place. The windows were of plain, frosted and amber glass.
The stained glass seen in the sanctuary today came a quarter-century later, after World War II. The congregation had shifted its tastes in just a generation, in large part because the congregation wasn't so overwhelmingly German a mere generation later.
