The L.A. Times online edition features an article about St. James' in the City Episcopal Church in Los Angeles celebrating the installation of its final pair of stained-glass windows, completing a hand–crafted set of 28 started in 1932. All of the windows, from past to present, have been created by the The Judson Studios and reflect the changes in the local community over the last 75 years. The article discusses these changes and the difficulties of funding the project through times such as the Great Depression, and also includes a small photo gallery.
