Franklin Graham is next to him to his right. Then Cissie Graham Lynch, then Paula White-Cain. None of Trump's court evangelicals are wearing masks. But I doubt many talked with Dr. Father John Jenkins because they wouldn't know what to say. (Senator Ben Sasse has a mask on).
John Jenkins, Franklin Graham, Cissie Graham Lynch, Paula White-Cain, then Greg Laurie and Jack Graham at the far right end of the row.
The row behind them is Harry R. Jackson Jr., Robert Morris, Jentezen Franklin.
Row behind that Tony Perkins.

"A spokesperson for Franklin Graham said the evangelist — who also led a faith-themed march on Washington the same day as the announcement, attended by thousands — was tested before a trip to Alaska this week, and his results were negative." @jackmjenkins

Harry R. Jackson Jr., Andrew Brunson, Robert Morris, Jentezen Franklin, Jerry Prevo, Skip Heitzig, unknown, Tony Perkins.
Unknown, G. Marcus Cole, John Jenkins, Franklin Graham, Cissie Graham Lynch.
I mixed up the long-time religious right activists Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, and Tony Perkins in some tweets above. They were all there. See image below.
Notre Dame law school Dean G. Marcus Cole wore a mask with valves that protects the wearer but not others.🤦
"Mask with valves don't protect others, because the exhaled air is not filtered."

As far as public health, it was good they were outdoor but:
1. The egregious issue was talking closely before and after the ceremony and not wearing a mask.
2. Many were not being careful indoors either.
I'm sorry to hear President Trump is very ill. This is brand new news:

About thread above: I have been chronicling Trump's evangelical supporters since August 2018 because I was curious who they are. For example, in January 2020: andyrowell.net/andy_rowell/20…
Kellyanne Conway tested positive. As seen above, she talked closely with Bill Barr on Saturday.

"Leadership" is often an incoherent field of study. Often it's anecdotal. "Here's what I did to ... win the game ... make a lot of money ... win the war ... win an election."
But below I sketch a few conceptual foundations of Leadership and note their practical value. 👇
Properly, Leadership is a subdiscipline of Ethics (how to live well), which is a subdiscipline of Philosophy.
Within Christianity, Leadership is also properly a subdiscipline of Ethics (how to live well with the presupposition God has spoken in Scripture and in Jesus Christ), which is a subdiscipline of Theology.

These pieces are revealing. For them, Christianity is using any means necessary to rally people to make America more like 1980's white Christianity. It is not humbly reading the Bible together so as to learn how to act like Jesus.
,
They did in their youth read the Bible and became convinced about what it was saying to American culture. And now they are in a position of power to rally people to that. But did we stop reading the Bible afresh? Is Christian political coercion of non-Christians the right goal?
Is not the political witness of Christians primarily one of example, of love, of integrity, and sharing of the hope that there is a God who is bringing a kingdom of love? Yes, advocate in the public sphere for the common good. Be salt and light. But still act like Jesus!
