On the history of national flags in North American Orthodox Churches, I think we have to remember that, at least in Churches from the Russian traditon, that they were placed there to affirm to other\\"normal\\" Americans, e.i. White Protestants and Roman Catholics, that the Orthodox were just as patriotic and pro-American and not some kind of Soviet infiltraitors. Maybe it is time to remove them and just flatly state that the sanctuary is about God and not about any political affiliation
