An Idaho church has replaced a stained glass window of Robert E Lee, George Washington and Abe Lincoln with the country's first black Methodist bishop wearing an LGBTQ scarf.
The late bishop Leontine Kelly, who passed away at age 92 in 2012, had lived in Richmond, Virginia with her family where monuments of former Confederate leaders, such as Lee, had lined Monument Avenue.
The statue of Lee, a former Civil War general and slave owner, was later removed by the city on September 8.
The call to remove the statue had been recommended by Governor Ralph Northam in June 2020 as Lee was believed to have represented a time of racial injustice.
The stained glass window at the Cathedral of the Rockies First Methodist Church in Boise, Idaho, which featured Lee was taken down in August 2020.
The window, erected in 1960, featured Lee standing with Washington and Lincoln who were 'selected to show historic and contemporary leaders of our nation,' according to the Idaho Statesman.
Kelly now stands in place of these three men, while donning an LGBTQ scarf, and standing proud with her hands folded.
She had been elected as the first black Methodist bishop in a 1984 ceremony.
The portrayal of the former bishop was inspired by a photo taken of Kelly where she calmly stood in the midst of a 1985 protest against nuclear armaments.

Lee was a devout religious Christian.
A gay Satan loving marxist....not so much.
The glass should have never depicted any political figure and politics shouldn’t be depicted in the new glass either.
How about Jesus or a saint?
Same here. The methodist church has been dying for decades.
Boise,...not really Idaho anymore.
But what if we can find just 10 followers?
If you can find ten true followers, I will spare Sodom and
Gomorrah.
If that’s what the members of that church want, so be it. However, if I were a member, I’d be an ex-member.
Another Satanic cult.
My first question is why would a church in Idaho, in 1960, choose Lee out of all the other national leaders to join Lincoln and Washington?
God to soon be replaced as well, if not already.
Is the old window for sale?
Well, said “church” will burn in hell, led by those who made this sickening choice AND supported it. Romans 1 tells us what is coming for those who “support those that do such things” (Romans 1: 32). Sickening.
That church will be quite warm and toasty at the end of the age.
In related news, history shows that Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant matched wits with a couple of unnamed Southern dudes during the Civil War.
Wow! They are really cool! The Church of What’s Happenin’ Now!
one of the members probably paid for it and that was what that member chose.
She ain’t a “bishop,” and this ain’t a “church.”
Before reading the article, I’m guessing the city is Moscow, Idaho.
