Democracy is not just voting in elections; it's not just institutions and laws.
Democracy is a spiritual practice.
It requires a deep love for our neighbors — especially our neighbors with whom we disagree the most.

Fox News and Republicans are attacking a so-called bishop for having the gall to ask Trump to "have mercy," calling her "Satan" and "evil." Wait until they find out the insidious liberal stuff I learned about her pal, Jesus. IT. WILL. SHOCK. YOU.

GOP attacks bishop for telling Trump to 'have mercy.' Don't tell them about Jesus. | Opinion
I can't believe a so-called 'bishop' would stand up in church and ask President Trump to engage in some weird liberal behavior called 'mercy.'
