Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde Calls on Trump to Show Mercy to Migrants and LGBTQ People

ai generated text

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the first woman to lead the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, delivered a sermon at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration prayer service, urging him to show mercy to immigrants and LGBTQ individuals. Trump, however, reacted negatively to her message, calling it "not too exciting" and criticizing her tone as "nasty" and "not compelling or smart". He also accused her of bringing her church into politics in an "ungracious" way.

    1. The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.
    1. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart.... She and her church owe the public an apology!
    2. Not too exciting was it. I didn't think it was a good service. They could do much better.
    1. The Left's hollowing out of the church is perhaps the single most dangerous change over the course of the last half-century. Left-wing radicalism wearing around the flesh mask of Biblical values. Reverse it. Now.
    1. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives.
    2. They pay taxes, and are good neighbours. They are faithful members of our churches, mosques and synagogues, gurdwara and temples. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were once strangers in this land.
    3. You have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now.
    4. And one of the qualities of a leader is mercy, right? Mercy. And to be mindful of the people who are scared.
    5. The people who pick our farms and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals -- they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation.
