All priests and preachers have the right to voice their opinions.

Not just the opinions we agree with.

She wasn't just voicing her opinion, she was forgoing a Christian sermon in order to attack Trump.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

That wasn't a sermon. It was a politically motivated lecture. At best it was inappropriate and uncalled for.

It's the National Cathedral

It hosts the largest national religious events

The activist Bishop has the right to do what she did….but it shows her to be a low class hack to turn what are supposed to be national bipartisan and non-political events into a hectoring political activist event

It's also just a sad secondary commentary on what the once great Episcopalian Church has become and the types of people who now control it

*PS

She has also been a activist and anti-Trump leftist for a long time

Yeah I think they just picked the wrong person to preach that day. Any one of us could have seen a pic of her and known what was going to happen. She drives a Subaru and owns a cat.

She is the Episcopal bishop of Washington DC

So the National Cathedral is under her control technically.

Probably had to let her speak.

But interesting that at a "unity" event that featured lots of clergy types they refused to invite any conservative evangelicals

[More than a dozen religious leaders spoke during the interfaith service, including those from Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu traditions.

Notably absent from the invited clergy with speaking roles were conservative evangelicals, who are among President Trump's strongest supporters.

Nonetheless, some of those evangelical supporters were in the pews.]

The students and staff of Truett that thing this woman is a hero are the same that get uber butthurt about politics and church (if they're evangelical).

This will have the unfortunate but inevitable consequence of Republicans choosing to engage in public religious ceremonies in another location where the clergy won't use the opportunity for political statements. Trump is definitely not the one to do it, but I could see a future President who is evangelical responding to such a statement by publicly rebuking the bishop, which she would richly deserve.

When a pastor leads off the sermon talking about gay and trans youth, you know she is not speaking the word of God.

Whomever set this farce up for his early morning prayer meeting should be fired.

She is free to preach her schtick to her followers, her lecturing Trump was bull *****

You don't go to church to get individually pointed out and lecture to by a preacher, who is
full of sin themselves.

BS move by whatever leftist set this "sermon" up.

So this Bishop attends a pride parade, God says pride is a sin and this Bishop calls herself a Christian?

About as blatantly satanic as it gets. Revelations is spot on.

Tremendous sermon given by a preacher with tremendous courage. She knew she was going to get MAGA fury, but she uplifted Jesus anyway. She spoke morally, and that always has political implications.

It was actually mild. She urged the President to show compassion for the powerless. A great man who was a Christian would have taken it well. Since Trump is neither, he didn't. Instead, he made a vile, petty, nonChristian post. Because that's who he is. He worships the rich and powerful, the Musks, etc. None of them are in the neighborhood of Christ.

I wish some of his groveling evangelical megachurch "pastors" had introduced him to Jesus. But they would have had to have known him themselves to do so.

She's a libtard and you know it. I agree with Trump's post. She did fail to mention the murders that have taken place by illegals. Cases like the Laken Riley case. Here is Trump's post....

I thought as christians, we are all sinners?

She asked for mercy for people that are scared. And they are rightfully scared based on the things Trumps has said he would do and has already done. You can hate the sin, you can even hate the sinner if you want to (but I don't think that's what jesus taught you to do), but these are humans with real human emotions, feelings, and fears. It's really shocking how so many of you that claim to be christians are so hateful.

This is coming from someone that can sympathize with Trump voters. I understand why you vote for Trump, I get it completely. And I understand there is a culture war going on. But I think as a country, we can find some common ground that still treats people of this community humanely.

That was not a sermon uplifting Jesus in any way but purely a political grievance shill. Trump's faith nor his personality nor even any political bent (eg. MAGA) had no place in a service to pray for the leadership of the nation.

She had the perfect opportunity to powerfully lay out the Gospel, including grace and mercy to all, but sacrificed it all on the altar of personal political bias. Clearly this bishop is unwilling to offer that which she demands of others, a characteristic which disqualifies her from leading the body of Christ.

Question....if I illegally went into another country what would happen to me? Does Mexico or Canada allow illegals to be in their country? Do other countries pay hotel rooms and meals for illegals? I do understand why libtards think all this is ok. And the politics in the church shouldn't be there.

If they are illegal immigrants they are scared because they broke the law and entered the country illegally....also not sure why people should be that scared to be sent home to their own countries...but ok

If they are scared because they are LGBTQ then its a ridiculous thing to even say or feel.

Trump is actually one of the more pro-LGBTQ Republican Presidents we have had. He has never said anything bad about gays, has no personal moral problems with homosexuality, and only said that biological men and biological women should be defined as law. (something that was normal until the day before yesterday and something the vast majority of the American people believe in)

I would hope a pastor would ask for that country to have mercy on you. If it is China, North Korea, Russia, or a middle eastern country, you probably wouldn't be treated very well. I don't think resorting to being as bad as them is a good idea. I'm not sure what Mexico or Canada would do. I know they have laws regarding people immigrating illegally to their country, but since they aren't the shining beacon for the world to follow, they don't have as bad of an immigration problem as the US does. But I wasn't really responding to the illegal immigrating point as I think we should humanely remove people that are here illegally and have them go through the proper channels if they want to live here. I was responding to the issues about gays and trans people. These are law-abiding US citizens, and many of them actually agree with many of you on most political issues other than gay issues. That was what I was really responding to.

Although I agree with Trumps point of view here; the Bishop still had the right to voice whatever view she has; regardless if flawed or not.

Every priest or pastor has that right.

The obvious remedy is for those who find her attitude objectionable……find another Church.

My issues wasn't with illegal immigrants. Yes, they are scared, but yes, they broke the law and should have known this might be coming.

LGBTQ people have not broken any laws. You can say they broke laws against christianity, and that's fine, but we are a secular state. Trump is one of the more pro-LGBTQ republican presidents, but he has made it very clear he is going to pass a lot of laws and executive orders that strips away some of their rights and protections. Some of them I think are reasonable (no trans athletes playing in womens' sports or no gender affirming care for minors as an example), but some will limit their civil rights protections, and those on those issues, the president of the United State of America should have mercy on the people that it will impact. It's still to be seen if he follows through with those, but many in the LGBTQ community are afraid based on what he has said he will do.

Exactly. Many pastors over the centuries have preached conservative stances and people complaining in this thread have never made a peep about those instances. But since they disagree with this pastor, then a pastor shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion. That is hypocritical in my mind and very anti-christian.

Have read many comments from our resident leftists vehemently complaining about 'evangelicals' preaching conservative political views.

And I provided the same remedy.

Find another Church.
