Tree of Life Contemplation
When the church was rebuilt these eyecatching windows, designed by Christopher John from Red Phoenix Glass, were installed. They are called the Holy Trinity Windows. The largest window in the group is the Tree of Life.

Christopher John sees the Tree of Life as a metaphor of the Holy Spirit, the life-giving essence of God in the world right now. The Tree of Life (Axis Mundi) in St Philip's links all three parts of the vertical triptych of the tower window, as a conduit linking heaven, earth and the world where parishioners live and work in Collingwood and Abbotsford.
