BISHOP MARIANN BUDDE: "The President just used a Bible - the most sacred text of the JudeoChristian tradition, and one of the churches of my diocese - without permission - as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus & everything that our churches stand for.
"And to do so... he sanctioned the use of tear gas by police officers in riot gear to clear the church yard. I am outraged. The president did not pray when he came to St Johns, nor... did he acknowledge the agony of our country right now, and in particular that of the people..
"..of color in our nation who wonder if anyone in public power will acknowledge their scared worth, and who are rightfully demanding an end to systemic racism and white supremacy in our country. And I just want the world to know that we in the diocese of Washington, following..
"..Jesus and his way of love, distance ourself from the incendiary language of this president. We follow someone who lived a life of non violent and sacrificial love, we align ourself with those seeking justice for the death of George Floyd..
"..and countless others to the sacred act of peaceful protest. And I.. I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen tonight."
Thank you @Mebudde
