After my sermon on Reconcliation yesterday morning, Baden Teague pointed out to me the very powerful Cedar Prest window above the western side of the pews. The window is a very powerful piece of social commentary. I have highlighted one particular part of this window - in it are portrayed the tragedy of two Aboriginal men in custody having committed suicide. This window was one of a number done as part of the Cathedral restoration in the early 1990s, in other words done at the time of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. For more information about Cedar Prest go to http://www.cedarprest.com.au/about_intro.htm and about her wonderful windows in St Peter's Cathedral, the booklet "Inspired Windows" is available for just $2 in the Cathedral Shop, (which is open every day - check opening hours on the web).
