The Episcopal bishop of DC – who oversees the DC church Trump just stopped at – tells the @washingtonpost she is "outraged" and that neither she nor the rector was asked or told… “that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop.." 1/3
Bishop @Mebudde response to the President
The President just used a Bible and one of the churches of my diocese as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that our church stands for. (1/3)
In no way do we support the President’s incendiary response to a wounded, grieving nation. In faithfulness to our Savior who lived a life of non-violence and sacrificial love, we align ourselves with those seeking justice for the death of George Floyd and countless others through
Amen, Bishop Curry!

Let us remember the sacred lives of those who have died and are now injured in New Zealand. The deadly attack against the mosque is an attack against our humanity. We must stand against the bigotry and xenophobia of white nationalism and white supremacy that fueled this attack.
During Eucharist at the #episcopal House of Bishops #hobspring19, the congregation prayed for victims of the shooting at Christchurch during the prayers of the people - "For the victims of the shootings in New Zealand, rest to their souls and peace to their families."
