Shakespeare’s celebrated monologue speaks of mercy & is given by a strong female character: Portia. A strong and brave woman, #bishopbudde, spoke of mercy this week in the face of unchecked power, racism, and hatred. Thank you, Bishop Budde, for using your power on behalf of love, grace, and mercy.
