Church to Remove Lee Memorial As a ‘work of repentance’

June 19, 2020 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) A church in Boise, Idaho, has decided to remove a stained glass window portraying Confederate general Robert E. Lee, which has been in its sanctuary for the past 60 years. Cathedral of the Rockies’ decision comes amid renewed calls for Confederate memorials throughout the U.S. to be torn down, moved, or replaced. 

“We believe this section of our window to be inconsistent with our current mission, to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world,” said Cathedral of the Rockies in a statement. “Further, such display is a barrier to our important work resisting evil, injustice, and oppression. Symbols of white supremacy do not belong in our sacred space.”
