That is off my bucket list... or was that my flucket list, I can never keep those straight.
ReplyDeleteI'd much preferred the Confederate theme as racial justice
ReplyDeletepropaganda does nothing for me. It seems even the church
as become a incubator of illusion.

The windows depicting Lee and Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson "did nothing to address the reality and painful legacy of America's original sin of slavery and racism,"

Is slavery a sin?
No. It is not a sin.
There are instructions in the religion of the Christians and Jews for treatment of slaves, but is currently illegal in the United States.
Is racism a sin?
No. It is not a sin.
It would be biblically discouraged on treatment of others.
Sigh.
Is lying a sin?
Why, yes it is! "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour", or lying, is listed in the Ten Commandments as generally frowned upon by The Almighty.
And you Reverend, are a liar. Guilty of a worse crime than murder; leading the sheep astray.
Racial justice "themed" windows? Sounds like targets for a wrist rocket and some ball bearings.....
ReplyDeleteGood idea....:)
DeleteHow about some pictures of the Heroic Federal (Yankee) soldiers who fought and died to free the slaves. And maybe a counter-pane with images of Black (Slave descendant) rioters from Baltimore, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles to provide context.
