Rt. Rev. Marianne Edgar Budde Preaches to President Trump

On January 21st, Donald Trump attended a service at National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. the day after his inauguration as President. She closed her sermon speaking directly to Trump, asking him to show mercy to the many who are frightened by his announced threats to undocumented immigrants, transgender persons, economically disadvantaged families and other minorities. Trump insulted Bidde with personal slurs and demanded an apology after the service. Others in Trump’s orbit have criticized and even threatened Budde, Bishop of the Episcopalean diocese  of Washington comprising 50 churches and 10 schools. Full Sermon

Pope Francis Reminds America:

Jesus Was an Immigrant

Dear Brothers in the Episcopate,

I am writing today to address a few words to you in these delicate moments that you are living as Pastors of the People of God who walk together in the United States of America.

1. The journey from slavery to freedom that the People of Israel traveled, as narrated in the Book of Exodus, invites us to look at the reality of our time, so clearly marked by the phenomenon of migration, as a decisive moment in history to reaffirm not only our faith in a God who is always close, incarnate, migrant and refugee, but also the infinite and transcendent dignity of every human person.
