description The eye is the window or light to the soul. A window lets light in. In many churches worldwide, the sunlight is bright and colourful as it brings to life awe-inspiring images through stained-glass windows. The front page of the Festchrift for colleague Kobus Schoeman depicts one of the stained-glass windows of the DRC mother church in Stellenbosch.

As the windows in a church convey the gospel, so do the different contributions.
