Although our mission is to send BOOKS to prisoners, sometimes we also send loose paper. For example, during the early days of the pandemic, when lockdowns had cut off our usual source of books, a volunteer responded to a request for Christian books by printing a few sermons by #BishopBudde and sending those. One recipient was so grateful for the bishop's wisdom that he created artwork consisting of Bible verses starting with each letter of the bishop's name.

Bishop Budde made waves this week when she spoke directly to Trump during her Inauguration sermon.
She urged him to have mercy on those who fear for their lives under his administration.
She spoke of compassion for the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities he seems intent on destroying.
He of course lashed out, demanding an apology and calling her names.
Make no mistake, what she did was an act of bravery. For a few minutes she had a considerable platform, and she used it to speak up for those who can’t speak up for themselves.
She stood up to the bully. She showed us all what it means to be an ally.
Did you know she also provided a final resting place for Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in a gay hate crime at the age of 21?
He was interred at the Washington National Cathedral in a service she presided over after having no permanent resting place for years due to concerns his grave would be vandalized.
Look for the helpers. They’re still out there. They may not be as loud as the bullies but they’re quietly working to protect as many people as possible. To share messages of love and inclusion. To build community. To stand up to hate.

The more I learn about Bishop Budde, the more I admire and respect her! #MatthewShepard #BishopBudde #AngelsOnEarthDoExist
"Matthew Shepard, the young gay man brutally killed on a chilly night in Wyoming 20 years ago this month, was finally laid to rest at Washington National Cathedral on Friday. A reflective, music-filled service offered stark contrast to the anti-gay protests that marred his funeral two decades ago.The public remembrance at the filled 4,000-seat cathedral was led by the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal bishop of Washington, and the Right Rev. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay man elected a bishop in the Episcopal Church. After, his ashes were interred at the cathedral's crypt in a private family ceremony."

Watch: Episcopal bishop asks Trump 'to have mercy' on LGBTQ+ communities and immigrants
"Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land," Budde said before closing her remarks."
