The National Cathedral in Washington DC has decided that they too want to join in on the re-writing and recasting of history in response to the 2020 George Floyd Summer of Love.
The stained glass windows in the National Cathedral show different scenes from throughout American history, which I'll admit is bizarre for a "church" but pretty normal for a national monument in DC.
Four of the stained glass windows previously featured depictions of two Southern Civil War generals, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson:
A tribute to the South and a symbol of national healing and forgiveness after the Civil War, the window was donated by the Daughters of the Confederacy in the 1950s.
It has now been replaced with this:
You can agree or disagree with removing the previous windows, that's fine.
But you have to admit, this is the ugliest stained glass you've ever seen in your life.
It takes the corporate woke cartoon style and enshrines it in glass in perpetuity. It's artistically offensive.
The new windows, titled "Now and Forever," are based on a design by artist Kerry James Marshall. Stained glass artisan Andrew Goldkuhle crafted the windows based on that design.
In the new work, African Americans are shown marching — on foot or in a wheelchair — from left to right across the four windows. Some march in profile; some directly face the viewer with signs proclaiming "FAIRNESS" and "NO FOUL PLAY." Light floods in through the sky-bright panes of white and blue above the figures.
Oh, it features black people marching in wheelchairs! This is the most inclusive window I've ever seen!
If they wanted to be historically accurate the signs ought to have read "F*** the police," "ACAB," and other anti-police slogans.
They also would have featured a burning Target store in the background.
"Eyesore" is right.
The name of the source should be, “Can’t Believe It’s Not the Bee...”
What exactly is “foul play”? Not shooting a black criminal trying to murder you?
i wonder how many times they will have to be replaced
That or a sign that says "mostly peaceful".
“We shall now celebrate the Sacrament of Pandering”
Maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be a lot of white in the “stained glass” windows.
The National Cathedral and its history is a brief and abstract representation of the course of this nation.
in honor of “St. Floyd the sinful” And those who aspire to indoctrination of the masses... be careful what and who you choose to follow. the path may not lead where you believe it will.
...and the Sacrament of Virtue Whining. It makes sense since they belong to the religion of Wokism.
St. George Floyd of Fentanyl is just one of their saints. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is another one.
Cotton too!!
The Episcopalian Church was taken over by sexual deviants and eco fascists a long time ago. No surprise here.
Well...at least it is inclusive enough to have fat chicks, though it omits droopy drawers and stolen TVs.
I was wondering how they would fare up to a few 12 ga blasts.
Aren’t these the lowlifes BLM tried to burn down, and the fire was stopped? Then the priest thanked Trump for saving the church... until he got a call from the bishop who told him never praise Trump, only condemn him, so he took his compliments back.
A dispicable group.
They should be with Rev Cleophus down at the Triple Rock Church
The “established” church of the United States, and never mind the constitution. Also a Sodomy church of course.
It’s getting easier and easier to spot the churches you need to stay away from.
