Bishop Mariann Budde's sermon at the National Cathedral the day after Trump’s inauguration sparked significant debate, favoring empathy towards marginalized groups like LGBTQ+ individuals and undocumented immigrants. Critics accused her of politicizing the church while supporters commended her bravery. With a substantial history in ministry, Budde emphasized that Christian involvement in politics aligns with Scripture's teachings on the common good. Despite Trump's harsh words brandishing her as 'boring' and 'ungracious,' Budde maintains her dedication to her faith-based political advocacy.

There's nothing that says a Christian can't be involved in politics. Scripture teaches us to be committed to the issues that affect the common good.
In terms of my political leanings, I try my best to ground my views on the teachings of my faith.
I guess he didn't like it, huh? He's entitled to his opinion about all of those things. And he's not the first to say that Episcopal worship is boring.
