The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. has decided to get rid of their stain glass Confederate battle flags.

These stain glasses were donated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) in the 20th century, I think in the 1940s or 50s. They considered it one of their prize accomplishments.
This follows after St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, first dis-invited the UDC and then decided to get rid of Confederate memorialization.
This is the story about St. Paul dis-inviting the UDC.

This blog posting has a whole host of articles about St. Paul's giving up the Confederacy.

Perhaps this will get the United Methodist Church to give up enabling neo-Confederate groups.
The campaign against churches enabling the Confederacy is documented at:

The Episcopal Church was the leading enabler of neo-Confederate groups, but that seems to be coming to an end.
I am tied up with an important project, but I plan to get back on the topic of churches. The action of removing the Confederate battle flag from the National Cathedral will send a message to all the churches.
There are other churches with Confederate stain glass battle flags such as at the Old Blandford Church in Petersburg, Virginia. Now that stain glass now can be questioned. If one church has gotten rid of a Confederate battle flag, why not another.

National Cathedral decides to get rid of Confederate flag stain glass, maybe the United Methodist Church will learn from this example and give up the Confederacy.
