This morning, while people were still sweeping up confetti and collecting empty champagne flutes from the inaugural balls, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their wives attended the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral. For the more liturgically-minded readers and those wayward Episcopalians, the order of service can be found here.
A certain amount of ecumenicism is to be expected and appreciated at such a service. Jesse J. Swann, Jr., chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, gave the invocation. Rabbi Susan N. Shankman read from Deuteronomy 10:17-21, and cantor Susan Bortnick offered the Jewish call to prayer. There were the requisite high-ranking members of the Episcopal Church and leaders from other Christian faiths, which is fine since the nation is not a homogenous entity.
Curiously, there was a reading from the Koran by Dr. Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, the associate Imam at Masjid Muhammad (The Nation’s Mosque), and the Muslim call to prayer led by Cantor Shayhk Akbar Sharrief, chief mu'adhin of the same mosque. One can understand the desire for inclusivity, but at the same time, Islam makes no bones about its disregard and contempt for other religions, especially Judaism and Christianity. But the formalities must be observed, I suppose.
The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington delivered the sermon. Much of the homily was dedicated to the concept that now is the time for all of us to get along. There was talk of unity and loving one's neighbor. However, the conclusion was primarily directed at Trump and, to an extent, Vance. And even if Budde had not called upon the president, there could be no mistaking the intent of the final paragraph:

Interesting.
“The Right Reverend MARIANN Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington...”
There’s the problem right there.
JMHO

How dare IT!!

Curious what the reading from the koran was, surely not the part about killing and raping all infidels.
Might be time for Americans to boycott the bimbo’s “church”.
Some one needs to shut that Bishop
I would reject the Islamic as sending a message that they are the enemy. The Bishop woman is a leftist loon.
;)
It would be a shame if someone were to pull a Will Smith on her.
Obviously.
Ping!
Sounds more like “Left Recerand”.
“The Bishop woman is a leftist loon”
A few minutes ago, on Newsmax Rob Finnerty played a clip of her disparaging PDJT back in his first term.
Either she’s not a woman or it’s not a church.
