From the Guardian: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/23/mariann-edgar-budde-trump-sermon-defense
Budde said she did her best to “present an alternative to the culture of contempt, and to say that we can bring multiple perspectives into a common space and do so with dignity and respect”.
“And that we need that,” she continued, as “the culture of contempt is threatening to destroy us. And I’m getting a little bit of a taste of that this week.”
As of Thursday morning, more than 30,000 people [+ one, me] had signed a petition supporting her sermon.

As ever we need brave women who speak truth
ReplyDeleteHear, hear ❤️
DeleteThank you for the address, she gets my support and love and CHEERS!!! Not sure how anyone in their right mind (?) could disagree with her sermon- What the ever living fug???Deeply disturbing insanity right off the bat, gonna be a rough go these next few years.
ReplyDeleteI know, isn’t it weird that people would send death threats to a minister who asked for mercy for the vulnerable?
DeleteIt’s a rough start already alright
I transcribed her words and sent them to east-central Illinois's own Mary Miller. She won't read them, but I hope someone in her office will.
