Now here is a truly brave woman, who has put her career on the line here, as a true Christian who really understands what Christianity is about.

Trump, Malania, Vance and families, were just trapped there, and could not walk out or stop her. Stunning and so full of humanity.

The Bishop was preaching compassion for our fellow humans. This is her job - spreading the word of Jesus.
Christians are exhorted to care for all, regardless of whom they might be.
Would you prefer she offered a different message, such as despise others who don't think like you, or maybe a little bit of hate?

Allsorts

So Edgar is her maiden name, fair enough. Still did not like her speech it is obviously what she thinks.The number just over 1% of her Episcopal church is correct just google. But I will leave it, what they want in America is up to them.You have your opinions on Transgender and I have mine.

Out of interest, you do understand that 1% as a part of 337million people is 3.37million people, correct? Episcopal is one of a vast range of Protestant Christian Churches in USA.

I do understand Norah, thank you. Still not representative.

I have just read this thread again.

I had a very good friend who knew they were in the wrong body and couldn't understand why.

They were found in the river one sad, sad morning.

The Archbishop was simply asking for compassion, that's all. Not everyone is lucky enough to live the perfect life or to have the strength to cope if they feel they are different.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend TopsyIrene06. Such a sad loss must have been very hard for you.
