I heard the first part of the sermon before the end, that is I listed to the whole thing the first time--but haven't watched the president's reaction. When I was looking at it I was looking at the cathedral's feed, which didn't focus on the president at that point.

Thanks for compiling these reactions. Given that Budde and changed things back in the summer so that she would preach (unlike for previous services), I was surprised when the Trump team agreed to attend, they should have expected this.
Maybe they did, and welcome the opprotunity to protest.

Do you want to write an explainer on this?

Thanks for the update.

On the other hand, the reading from the Gospel according to Matthew is being read by a layperson, not a deacon or priest, and thus is followed by the usual responses for scripture readings, not the special ones used for gospel readings. #carter 4/4

Included are the reception of the body, the prayers of intercession, and the commendation. These include brief prayers *for* the deceased. This is not something you would normally find in a Baptist funeral. #carter 3/x

The includes several elements from the Book of Common Prayer's liturgy for the burial of the dead, but omits several others including the creed. The full service leaflet is available here: #carter 2/x cathedral.org/about/state-...

The recent, and rather rare, snowfall in D.C. seems to add to the dignity. -- Perhaps it is a benediction from above.

Striking that there are so many “don’t know / refused”. Not surprising but striking.
