If you have watched the last 2 and a half minutes of the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde's homily this morning, I urge you to watch the whole 15 minutes. My first impression is that of the entire inauguration, this speech will be the one remembered and studied for decades.
Catching up after a long day. Watched the whole homily (14:57) by Bishop Budde. Agreed: she has a backbone, & does not bow to or kiss the ring of power. She has stood stronger than many male clergy and politicians. She calmly challenged "the king" like Nathan. Prophet! Wow! youtu.be/xwwaEuDeqM8?...

THIS is what, when, where, how and why politics fit into a sermon. If it rubs you the wrong way as a Christian, do a bit of archeological digging and sit with what you find. Her truth, based on Christ, shooketh those who knew they were wrong. youtu.be/xwwaEuDeqM8?...

“The culture of contempt that has become normalized in this country threatens to destroy us.” Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde’s wise, compassionate homily goes well beyond the headlines it generated. It deserves a full listening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwwa...
When history is written it will be said of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde that she personified public theology at its best. Here was her sermon in a prayer service today attended by the 47th President. I implore you to listen.
