I don't think it's very good. It's just a random arrangement of coloured patches. As Scriveyn points out, that's visual noise. I want my stain glass windows to be visual music: rhythm, pattern, maybe even meaning, or at least some kind of freaky effect when you stand at the right distance and cross your eyes. Then again, maybe it has this, and our photographer has missed it.
Hey, how about one of those magic eye pictures? ... there you are in church, your eyes become fixated on the apparently abstract ceiling, and suddenly, there is the face of The Lord staring right back at you! Blink, and it's gone.

If you stare at it long enough you can see Jesus riding a dolphin.

I thinks it's awful. I like the tradition of the windows being pictures telling bible stories and the like. But then it's none of my business seeing as I don't worship there. I hope the regular punters enjoy it and feel insipred/uplifted/spiritual/not migrainey.

This is unfortunate. Migraine inducing is the right description.

The closeup shot shows that the colored squares on right and left side mirror each other. It's too far away for me to be sure, but there appears to be some mirroring on the lower sections as well.
