Default Medium Exposure Settings

I took this photo in the Cadet Chapel at West Point, and struggled with how to get the right white balance because the shot mixed incandescent lights with natural light filtered through the stained-glass windows. Does anyone have any suggestions for shooting in multi-light conditions? How did this one turn out?

Shoot in RAW and apply white balancing later? I think you have done well here though and got a shot that has good colours as well as very effective overall composition.

whoa. I think the colors turned out pretty good. My brain almost melted when I saw rows and rows filled with bibles. You lined the shot up really well, I like it!
