Bishop at DC church outraged by Trump visit: 'I just can't believe what my eyes have seen'

(CNN)Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington said Monday evening that she is "outraged" after President Donald Trump visited her church without advance notice to share "a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus."

Her pointed comments came after the President walked from the White House to St. John's Episcopal Church, a house of worship used by American presidents for more than a century. Peaceful protesters just outside the White House gates were dispersed with tear gas, flash grenades and rubber bullets. It was all, apparently, so Trump could visit the church.
"I am outraged. The President did not pray when he came to St. John's, nor as you just articulated, did he acknowledge the agony of our country right now," Budde told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "AC360."
"And in particular, that of the people of color in our nation, who wonder if anyone ever -- anyone in public power will ever acknowledge their sacred words. And who are rightfully demanding an end to 400 years of 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 ... we distance ourselves from the incendiary language of this President. We follow someone who lived a life of nonviolence and sacrificial love."
"We align ourselves with those seeking justice for the death of George Floyd and countless others," she continued. "And I just can't believe what my eyes have seen."

Female bishop? False church anyway. I'm female. I don't get why women don't understand exactly what it is in the air that makes us think we would want positions of power.

Do the home thing right with a God fearing man and you have unlimited power.

The start of the end of the country is when girls were allowed to vote and hold property. Their emotions and vanity rule everything they think do and say so, not good at being objective and clear thinking.

Take a look on how girls do as mayors or governors, fail and fail. They are not suitable to hold any office of power in government or the church.

EpiscopalIans aren’t real people.
Satan’s “church.”

True, I know avowed atheists who attend for some kind of social reason, usually university professor types

Trump needs to align with the Old Israel, the old school Rabbis with spiritual vision, The modern city Christians are lost

Only the rural Christians, those living in the city but rural in heart and the old Rabbis know what real freedom and belief in the Kingdom is.

She is an idiot! her job is the soul of her parishioners and our presidents' is the soul of the nation. She is way out of her league

Agree. She should have immediately bid him to return to pray and repent. What I want to know is why did he hold the Bible in front of the church, yet he did not actually go in? That is so strange. I doubt that not one president had behaved that way, without actually going in the Church the past. Maybe that is what upset her?
