Episode: Bishop asks Trump to “have mercy” on immigrants and gay people: How should we see this issue through the lens of Scripture?
Description: The Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service was led by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. On Tuesday, the bishop made a direct appeal to President Trump to “have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” referring to the LGBT community and immigrants. These issues are both biblical and political, with complex implications for our society today. Was this appeal the right thing to do, or was it a missed opportunity to preach the gospel? Today we discuss our call as witnesses to the world and those under our influence.About Denison Forum and The Daily Article
