Even in Idaho...Confederate paraphernalia is out.

     A stained Glass Window at a United Methodist Church campus is being removed because it includes Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

BOISE, Idaho — One of Boise’s largest churches is removing a controversial reminder of Idaho’s connections to the Confederacy — a stained-glass window featuring Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

The Cathedral of the Rockies installed stained-glass windows for its then-new building in downtown Boise in 1960. Church documents show that the window, featuring Lee standing with Presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, was meant as an “inclusive nod to Southerners who have settled in Boise,” said the Rev. Duane Anders, senior pastor.

“Clearly, white Southerners,” Anders said.

The window is in the downtown campus of the Boise First United Methodist Church campus.
