Why is the confederate flag still flying in the national cathedral? I personally don't take issue, but it was a battle flag , not the flag of the confederate states. I would like to learn the reason it still flies amongst all the others.

The Mississippi flag (which still has the "stars-and-bars" emblem seen in the Confederate battle flag) hangs in the nave space, along with all the other 49 states' flags and US territory flags. Two small stained glass windows, honoring Lee and Jackson, featured the Confederate flags in the glass; the windows were removed by the cathedral a couple of years ago, and have not yet been replaced; the removed windows will likely be incorporated into a display elsewhere at the cathedral, at some point in the future.

Historical artifact.
