Lee and Stonewall Jackson, claiming that memorializing them is “a barrier to our important work on racial justice and racial reconciliation,” the Washington Times reported.<br /><br />“Whatever their origins, we recognize that these windows are more than benign historical markers. For many of God’s children, they are an obstacle to worship in a sacred space; for some, these and other Confederate memorials serve as lampposts along a path that leads back to racial subjugation and oppression,” the Cathedral said in a statement.<br /><br />Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the head of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington; Washington National Cathedral Dean Randolph Marshall Hollerith; and John Donoghue, chairman of the Cathedral Chapter all signed the statement.<br /><br />Cathedral spokesman Kevin Eckstrom told the Washington Post that many leaders felt it was necessary to remove the windows because they depicted the Confederate generals as pious Christians.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-2603399661677013282017-09-06T23:26:09.196-04:002017-09-06T23:26:09.196-04:00Debbie Does Detention<b>Debbie Does Detention</b>Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.com
