The double doors at the end of the hall leading to the League Room at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Paul used to be solid.

The addition of the window and the removal of the furniture are among efforts to protect children and adults from sexual abuse in the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania.
