Speaking Truth to Power with Kindness

Today, witness what it looks like to speak truth to power with kindness.

HERE is a 2 1/2 min video of the National Prayer Service after the inauguration, where Bishop Mariann Budde spoke directly to President Trump about the call to show mercy to those who are marginalized. She particularly named immigrants and the LGBTQ community. And Mr. Trump was literally just a few feet in front of her in the front row.

Notice her poise and even her kindness as she spoke. She sounds a lot like Jesus. And who knows what kind of difficulties this may create for her. Nevertheless, she persisted.

What might it look like for us to have that kind of kindness as we resist the ways this world marginalizes people?
