And it’s about damned time.

The historic St. Paul’s Episcopal Church known as the “Cathedral of the Confederacy” has begun removing all images of the Confederate flag from within its walls.

The measure includes six plaques with various versions of the Confederate flag, the church’s coat of arms with the flag on kneelers at the high altar, and bookplates in some books in the church’s library.

But it was not entirely voluntary:

Soon after (the church shootings in South Carolina–ed.), the General Convention of the Episcopal Church passed a resolution urging their churches nationwide to remove any Confederate battle flags.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown Richmond across from Capitol Square has not flown the Confederate flag since the 1960s.
