I’m one of the people who went to Lafayette Square last June in support of #BLM, & was driven away by riot police with teargas, & flash grenades. I saw the report finding no link between the clearing of the park & the photo op. Initially I was not going to respond... “Stay in your lane!” is what some people say when clergy weigh in on political issues. But I’m an Episcopal priest; my LANE is truth-telling in service of love. My LANE is to call out sin when I see it. And that report – and the culture that gave rise to it – is full of it.

I just read a warning to conservatives that electing Joe Biden would be "the end of America." It made me wonder - seriously - What would that look like to them? Because to my eye, the "end of America" looks like federal police taking people off the streets into unmarked cars. 1/7 2/7 To my eye, "the end of America" looks like police kneeling on George Floyd's neck while he gasps 'I can't breathe!' or breaking into Breonna Taylor's house at night and killing her. It looks like police teargassing innocent protesters and shooting rubber bullets at them.
