"The rest of Rev. Budde's statement made her sound like an MSNBC contributor. She mentioned 400 years of systemic racism and white supremacy. She aligned the church 'with those seeking justice for the death of George Floyd.' Although there was an explicit mention of supporting peaceful protests, her lack of condemnation of the burning of the church or the rioting, looting, and violence made it clear where she stood." . . .
NOW - Scott Jennings Nukes Woke 'Bishop' for Hijacking Trump's Prayer Service
"These 'Wokescopalians' or 'Episcowokeians' or whatever they're calling themselves today, this is ridiculous."

"Just yesterday, at an inaugural prayer service sermon, an Episcopal bishop addressed President Donald Trump directly and urged him to “have mercy upon” illegal immigrants and LGBTQ+ children.
"The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, said the following during the concluding moments of her sermon.
"Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God."“In the Name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.”
“There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.”
“The people who pick our crops 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, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”
“Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land.”
"So, what does one make of this?
"The bishop had no right to abuse her position in the church and hijack a prayer service with a political message. By mentioning only working-class illegal migrants, she is attempting to imply that this is about class and that Trump is persecuting the less fortunate. It also reveals her outlook when she assumes that illegal aliens can only be dishwashers and such. But illegal aliens could be wealthy and hold white-collar jobs. They could be the kind who overstay their visas." . . . Full article...
A disgrace at the National Cathedral
. . ."As we watched this ignominious display of sheer hubris and in-your-face arrogance, I wondered how many of the viewing audience thought as I did that what we just saw is the reason there will never be a rapprochement with the far left, as its members have utter contempt for every tradition and custom and code of civility upon which America is built. With all due respect to the high place she holds in my church, I just must say: disgraceful!" . . .
