Bishop Mariann Budde (1959 - )
Speaker of Truth to Power
American prelate of the Episcopal Church,
elected first female Bishop of Washington in 2011;
in her homily at the interfaith prayer service
marking the 2025 Presidential Inauguration, she
called for mercy and compassion to be shown to vulnerable people,
including the LGBTQ+ communities, immigrants, and refugees,
earning her the wrath of the Trump Administration and MAGA.
Thank you! She really is beautiful in every way.
ReplyDelete@ Boud -- And thank YOU for nominating her for Beautiful Woman of the Day!
DeleteExcellent! If I ever grow up, I wanna be Bishop Budde! Her words and actions are in sync! Here is the story from "The Advocate" of Budde helping officiate the final rest of Matthew Shepard: ❤️.

@ Cleora Borealis -- Yes, I love how she stepped up for Matthew Shepard! Bishop Budde also replaced two stained glass windows in the Washington National Cathedral depicting Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, putting in their place new windows depicting the black struggle for civil rights instead.

I'm gonna get her book.
XOXO
