Bishop Budde’s inaugural remarks, not the impiety at Kirk’s memorial, are what Christianity is really about

Ein pointierter Blick auf Denis Schecks aktuellen Streifzug durch die Bestsellerlandschaft der Sachbücher bei Südkurier – mit ironischem Flügelschlag und federleichter Präzision.

From the aticle: "The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal Bishop of Washington, stepped into the national spotlight last week with a sermon delivered at the National Prayer Service in Washington National Cathedral. Last Tuesday, under the soaring Gothic arches of the historic cathedral, Budde’s voice resonated with a calm yet unyielding tone, calling for compassion and unity in the face of policies that have marginalized LGBTQ+ people and immigrants. Her words were measured and deliberate."

“It wasn’t like I was talking about people I don’t know,” Budde told The Advocate.

Bertrand Russell: Redefining the Public Intellectual in an Era of Rising Authoritarianism

Within days of his return to office, President Donald Trump unleashed a chilling display of authoritarianism, providing a stark reminder of the specter haunting the United States: the specter of fascism. As reported in the New York Times, his actions underscored a vision of governance steeped in cruelty and unchecked power.  With the stroke of a pen, Trump pardoned 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th insurrection, dismantled environmental protections, opened Alaska’s wilderness to expanded oil and gas drilling, terminated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies, and signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship.

Although our mission is to send BOOKS to prisoners, sometimes we also send loose paper. For example, during the early days of the pandemic, when lockdowns had cut off our usual source of books, a volunteer responded to a request for Christian books by printing a few sermons by #BishopBudde and sending those. One recipient was so grateful for the bishop's wisdom that he created artwork consisting of Bible verses starting with each letter of the bishop's name.

Feeling called to pick up my pen to sketch a reminder to myself of people who stand up, show up, speak up. Lights to follow when others go out.

As an RC (retired christian), I hope all the Christians of the world read this message from the Episcopal bishop of Washington and take it to heart. I believe it represents the best of what Christianity can be and do for humankind.
