The Bishop of Washington, Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, made a plea to President Donald Trump, who was in-person at an inaugural prayer service, to have “mercy” on Americans, particularly immigrants and LGBTQ people.



In a recent statement, Bishop Mariann Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington has called on President Trump to show mercy and compassion towards LGBTQ individuals and immigrants. She expressed concern over the administration’s policies that she believes are causing harm and division within communities.

Bishop Budde urged the president to consider the impact of his decisions on vulnerable populations and to prioritize justice and equality for all people. She emphasized the importance of treating others with respect and dignity, regardless of their background or identity.

As a leader in the faith community, Bishop Budde’s plea for mercy reflects the values of compassion and inclusivity that are central to many religious traditions. She hopes that her message will resonate with the president and inspire positive change in policies that affect marginalized groups.

It remains to be seen how President Trump will respond to Bishop Budde’s call for mercy, but the bishop’s words serve as a reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding in the face of adversity. Let us hope that her message will be heard and that steps will be taken to promote a more just and compassionate society for all.
