a voice of humanity, a plea for compassion

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
English
@john_durgavich I fear you are right about deaf ears. And yet, I believe that even deaf ears can learn to hear if a message of compassion is repeated with gentleness and love.
English
@qerese Fallen of deaf ears, I’m afraid. For the people who reelected President Trump, the majority of US voters, compassion is not a priority. It’s the rest of us who will need to adjust to, and in some cases fight, this reality -but human cruelty is hardly a new phenomenon!

Gustav Klimt died on February 6, 1918. On the very next day, Egon Schiele went to the morgue of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus, and did three drawings of his friend, whose head had been shaved. "Head of the Dead Klimt" is one of them.

The joyous occasion was celebrated by two hierarchs and a host of clerics and faithful.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.
Never seen anything like this.

Us Quakers are fans of "speaking truth to power".
We also don't have Bishops.
But here Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde gives an absolute *masterclass*.
Seriously, I'm in awe of the courage that must have taken.
Definitely my kind of Bishop (if we had them 😉).

Such a profoundly love-centered, bold appeal to his humanity and on behalf of humanity.

At the inaugural prayer service, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers.

Garden cheer from here.
A sad tale from Shakespeare and mythology about a delicate flower that hangs its head - Fritillaria melagris.
“And in his blood that on the ground lay spilled
A purple flower sprung up, checkered with white,
Resembling well his pale cheeks.” Shakespeare
