“We must boldly stand witness against the bigotry, hatred, intolerance, and xenophobia that is hurled at us, especially when it comes from the highest offices of this nation.” Bp. Marianne Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington making national headlines in a rare statement released repudiating President Trump’s racist words and actions.
She continues on:
“To stay silent in the face of such rhetoric is for us to tacitly condone the violence of these words. We are compelled to take every opportunity to oppose the indecency and dehumanization that is racism, whether it comes to us through words or actions.”
So powerful to have one of our leaders publicly take a stand. We believe this statement should be known!
