A prominent Episcopal bishop ripped a female cleric's collar off after she briefly forgot her words at an LGBT-friendly Easter Vigil that was emceed by a drag queen.
A video captured the jaw-dropping moment when Bishop Alan M. Gates snatched the collar from Reverend Tamra Tucker's neck during the service at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston on March 30.
He has now been branded a misogynist and forced into a groveling apology over the incident, which was live-streamed online.
In the footage, Rev. Tucker, who is the leader of The Crossing, an LGBTQ-inclusive congregation, explained to the attendees that they will now be 'communing' with one another.
'It's going to go very simply,' the reverend said as she began to break down the ceremony to the audience, which consisted of several congregations and other Protestant denominations.
We're going to allow somebody to take their own piece of bread, and you will say to the person taking the bread this.'
At this point in the video, Rev. Tucker apparently forgot the words for the ceremony.
She looked at the Bishop, and then turned to the crowd and said with her palms up: 'Wait what is it? I've been gone for a while.'
Then she seemed to remember the words and said with visible relief: 'The body of Christ.'
The reverend smiled, and the people standing on the dais behind her laughed.
'It's very simple. The body of Christ, that's all you got to do,' Rev. Tucker said.
Moments later, Bishop Gates, who had been smiling good-naturedly at her brief gaffe, lunged toward her and pulled the reverend's clerical collar from her neck.
People initially laughed boisterously at the surprise gesture. A woman at the end of the dais stared with her jaw open, and the drag queen clapped.

Why do they make such a point of calling women like the reverend, “women?” How is she not trans-male? Answer: It serves the political purpose of destroying the male priesthood.
Our Easter Vigil was different,
Notice the forgotten phrase was ‘The body of Christ.’
She said she couldn’t remember it because she had been away for a while. Among all the other weird things going on at that event, that is particularly weird. If she’s actually a priest, shouldn’t she be saying mass every day? The body of Christ really is a hell of a thing for a priest to forget.
Demonic spirits choke on the Name.
Everyone in that pic is either gay..trans and/or demented.
weird group for sure.
Good point.
Of course....forgetting was a sham......that was part of her disgusting “act”
to call attention to her depraved self............maybe even make a buck on it.
No wonder the bishop got ticked off and ripped off her phony clerical collar.........
he knew her game........even as the hideous dumb drag queen laughed and clapped.
