That church was an Episcopal church. My church.
I am as outraged as Bishop Mariann Budde.

"Let me be clear: The president just used a Bible, the most sacred text of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and one of the churches of my diocese without permission as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that our churches stand for," Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde told CNN.
"And to do so... he sanctioned the use of tear gas by police officers in riot gear to clear the church yard. I am outraged," Budde said.

@suzianne saidAnd the never-Trump Left Wing mob just used the same church and a member of its clergy as a backdrop for its message. What many of Trump's detractors apparently don't understand is, they will never be taken seriously by others if they keep doing what they condemn Trump for doing. "But he's the president, he should be held to a higher standard." Ok, you're right. You have an excuse to behave like Trump. Feel better?

@tom-wolsey saidOh, Tom. It takes the whole village to raise a child.

Also, shouldn't this be in the Debates forum?

@tom-wolsey saidWhat message do you think Trump delivered when he used that church [and the Bible] as a backdrop? Did his message resonate with you as a Christian?

@tom-wolsey saidHave you got a link to footage showing a member of the clergy from St. John's Episcopal Church "behaving like Trump"?

@tom-wolsey saidAs a Trump supporting right wing Christian yourself, do you feel that he represents your version of the faith particularly well?

@fmf saidYou're a little late to the game, FMF. I'm the one who reported the OP as belonging in Debates instead of SF.
What is the faith/religion/spirituality angle to your question?
However, as you might be aware, people of great spiritual development must inevitably have to deal with people who are lost in the weeds of materiality and whatever mental cultural templates.
So, if you do have a more sublime perspective, would you mind leading me along?
