In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, we dive into the recent controversial sermon, leadership, and advocacy of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the first woman elected to serve as the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, overseeing 86 congregations and 10 schools in the D.C. area. As a passionate believer in the gospel, Bishop Budde champions justice issues, including racial equity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, gun violence prevention, and immigration reform.

But how do these advocacy efforts align with biblical teachings? We explore the intersection of faith, politics, and social justice, examining the Episcopal Church’s involvement in government-funded refugee resettlement programs and the ethical implications of its financial ties.
