There was a lot of TEC pushback about holding this service and "bending the knee"...this was not bending the knee. And this is a national journalist/author sharing this on his feed, not an Episcopalian, so it is getting reach. ⚓
This is what courage, conviction, decency looks like: The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, uses a worship service at the Washington National Cathedral to stand before Trump and Vance and say the stuff that needs to be said.

Great words from Bishop Jake Owensby as #Lent begins: “When Jesus calls us to repent, he’s telling us that another kind of life is already available. A life animated by love.”

“No act of virtue can be great if it is not followed by advantage for others. So, no matter how much time you spend fasting, no matter how much you sleep on a hard floor and eat ashes and sigh continually, if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.” --John Chrysostom #Lent
