From the Bishop: This is not just politics-2.6.26

As you know, I am not one who issues statements based on every news item that crosses the wire. However, as a Bishop and more importantly a follower of Jesus Christ, I was repulsed and sickened by the meme that was on the President’s feed depicting two children of God who served this nation as apes.

It is a sin against the Lord. This is not just politics or someone being themselves. It is an affront to Christ. Either you apologize, Mr. President, or you resign.

If that doesn’t happen, Congress and Mr. Speaker, who claims to be Christian, need to do something.

Death, the separation of families, and hate are not Christian. It is time for some courage on all issues. People are more important than your power or position.

In the event you need some scripture to justify courage, here is a start: Genesis 1:27, Acts 10:34-35, Galatians 3:28, Deuteronomy 10:17-19, James 2:8, Revelation 7:9-10, 1 John 4:19-21, Ephesians 2:1

"Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness... Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” - U.S. Army counsel Joseph Welch to Senator Joseph McCarthy on June 9, 1954
