When Mariann Budde, Episcopalian Bishop of Washington, addressed United States President, Donald Trump, about national unity, prayer, and action, she must have expected to be belittled, criticised andattacked.
In a silent, packed, Washington National Cathedral, Budde said: “Have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.” She was referring to immigrants, many of whom have fled to the US fromvictimisation in their own lands. And she was speaking about children, members of the LGBT community who will face undue oppression under Trump’s watch.
