Confederate Stained Glass To Be Replaced With Racial-Justice Themed Windows At National Cathedral
The Mix ^ | 9/23/2021 | James Conrad

Posted on 09/23/2021 12:27:27 PM PDT by MJacks4

The Washington National Cathedral issued a statement on Thursday announcing that it will be replacing historic stained glass windows that depict Confederate iconography with “woke” racial-justice themed windows that honor African Americans.

There are 231 stained glass windows in the National Cathedral. The windows that are being replaced were were installed in 1953 and they were removed in 2017.

It’s an episcopal church. Their messages have been about as woke as a Disney princess drinking red bull so prince charming doesn’t have to rescue her.

Before this gesture, I didn’t realize that slavery was bad. Who could have known?

If they’re going to remove the windows, I just hope they don’t destroy them as they did the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond.

Why yes! Let’s appease the people who set fire to churches. Maybe we’ll escape damage.

It’s the one where all the ‘elites’ gather for big DC occasions like McCain’s funeral. You’ve seen pictures of it on TV....

The inside looks bigger on TV... when you’re actually inside it’s ‘cozy’...

That does it. Scratch the National Cathedral off the list of places to hold my funeral when the time comes.

Once all the statues and windows have been removed the last remaining remnant of the confederacy will be the democratic party

Lee and Jackson are an honorable part of our American history!!!!

“Racial justice” windows are nothing but an exercise in “critical race theory”!!!!

But replacing the Lee/Jackson windows with CRT is par for the course for the “woke” Episcopal “church”. For example, the “National” Cathedral enshrines the remains of “gay” Matthew Shepard, who died not as a “martyr”, but because of a drug deal gone bad!!!!

The Cathedral may want to rethink replacing the windows. The biden era is becoming as rotten as can be, and may come to an end sooner than leftists think!!!!

Joseph (of the Coat of Many Colors) was sold into slavery by his brothers.

Many years later, Joseph is second only to Pharaoh in Egypt. His brothers have traveled to Egypt during a time of famine, seeking to buy food for their families back in Canaan. They are take into Joseph’s court, where they eventually learn that he is their long lost brother, whom they had sold into slavery. After a few agonizing moments and thoughts of, “Oh, no, we are DOOMED!”, they hear Joseph say to them,

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. “

Genesis 50:20
English Standard Version

Slavery provided several very bad moments for Joseph. However, older & wiser, he saw that God allowed his enslavement so that Egypt, Joseph’s family and Joseph himself would ultimately be blessed by his enslavement.

Romans 8:28
English Standard Version

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.

So, are they replacing a window with a white man whipping a black man with a black man whipping a white one? Because that is what “racial justice” is all about.

Haven’t been there in decades but I believe the windows were there to commemorate the reconciliation after the Civil War.

“Bottom run on top now, massa!” A ridiculous backa@@ward sense of “justice” that is, in fact, meaningless.

More erasure of history, good or bad, which they think will have people forgetting history- true in the stupid lumpen masses but very much not true among the informed preservers of heritage.

Pure Marxism by the “bishopettes” of the episcopacy folly.

Might I suggest an image of Saint George Floyd chasing the dragon.
