Working on camp staff had a tremendous impact on my life and path to ministry. It is great to finally be gathering some reliable data on how and why the summer staff experience is so impactful. https://t.co/Ai8E4D3fjv

[Bishop Eaton @ELCABishopEaton]

The president used federal troops to clear a path through peaceful protesters in order to stand before an Episcopal church make a statement and hold up a bible. Neither the priest nor the bishop were consulted or warned. Not only was this manipulative it was desecration.
