Nice to see churches falling right into the hands of muslims, next up to be a mosque
O’BombA strikes again.

“The plaques [ of George Washington and Robert E. Lee ] in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome,” church leaders said.
I can’t think of any two people I would feel more “safe” around.
Cowards.
“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome,” church leaders said. “Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques.”
“Unsafe”????
Who? And what in the hell is the matter with the church leaders that they cannot articulate the many reasons why someone would feel unsafe has to do the stupidity of the persons expressing such feelings, not anything to with the statue of the man that led this country to independence from Britain.
If Washington’s people (WASPs) would breed at a healthy level, this wouldn’t be happening.
These memorials will have to be effaced:
Among the burials in the churchyard is the mass grave of thirty-four Confederate prisoners of war who died in local hospitals during the Civil War. A memorial stone in the churchyard commemorates their deaths. Also buried in the church are Charles Simms and Philip Marstellar, two of George Washington’s pallbearers...
When the wave of iconoclasm against Confederates starting hitting critics pointed out Washington and other slave owning Founding Fathers would be next. We were mocked but we know out opponents better than they know themselves.
Burton Parish Church, an Episcopal church, is in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg. They have plaques noting where famous VAs from the Revolutionary era sat. I will take observe if those are gone too. Although the only thing keeping that church open are the tourist dollars.
I would imagine that General Lee is the real target, but if they can strike at Washington too that’s two hated targets they can remove. After all, this is VA, and it is no longer Washington and Lee’s Virginia. Wonder if the university will change its name too.
You’re right, and it’ll keep gaining momentum until someone puts a foot down hard.
After getting rid of “Redskins” they will go after the “Washington”.
Boy I want to go and meet the people who attend this church,and I guess it is a church where people go because they are sinners,as all Christians understand we all are.
I want to be in the presence of a church filled with Saints who have never sinned and so want to divest themselves of a sinner the likes of George Washington.,but I don’t think I would be welcome because I am also a sinner
Amen. And TEC’s prime sacrament is abortion, and its catechism is the U.N. Millennium Development Goals.
The church is on the registry of National Historic Landmarks

If they get any tax breaks or federal money, then changing what MAKES it a landmark, should result in a loss of status.
“Boy I want to go and meet the people who attend this church,and I guess it is a church where people go because they are sinners,as all Christians understand we all are.”
Probably a radical left multicultural vestry and parish and a politically correct bishop.
Actually it is Bruton Parish Church:

It is an amazing place. I had to go and sit where all the markers are.
To think that so many Founders were arrayed there on Sunday mornings in the early 1770s in the same place is hard to take in.
They had no idea of what lay ahead, and their part in it.
Maybe they’ll take down the references to slaves in the Bible.Hey, I need to find out if it’s permissable for my slaves to wax my chariot on the Sabbath.
