At St. Martin in the Fields 'Here I Stand' lecture series, Bishop Mariann Budde was asked about the people of conscience - some of faith - that have been arrested @defendourjuries.bsky.social #LiftTheBan protests.

She said, "I hold them in the highest esteem, we owe them a great debt of gratitude."
