Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

[Therese Sellers @qerese.bsky.social @qerese]

@john_durgavich I fear you are right about deaf ears. And yet, I believe that even deaf ears can learn to hear if a message of compassion is repeated with gentleness and love.

Gustav Klimt died on February 6, 1918. On the very next day, Egon Schiele went to the morgue of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus, and did three drawings of his friend, whose head had been shaved. "Head of the Dead Klimt" is one of them.

an appeal to humanity

[The Associated Press @AP]

At the inaugural prayer service, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers.

"The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." - Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde

45th anniversary of return of St. Andrew’s Cross to Patras
https://t.co/PZfs3g9I95

The joyous occasion was celebrated by two hierarchs and a host of clerics and faithful.

[Ahmed Baba @AhmedBaba_]

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.

Never seen anything like this.

[Humanist Quaker @HumanistQuaker]

Us Quakers are fans of "speaking truth to power".
We also don't have Bishops.

But here Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde gives an absolute *masterclass*.
Seriously, I'm in awe of the courage that must have taken.

Definitely my kind of Bishop (if we had them 😉).

Garden cheer from here.
A sad tale from Shakespeare and mythology about a delicate flower that hangs its head - Fritillaria melagris.
“And in his blood that on the ground lay spilled
A purple flower sprung up, checkered with white,
Resembling well his pale cheeks.” Shakespeare
