It is so moving to learn how Bishop Budde helped Matthew Shepard's parents safely lay their son to rest. What a strong, wonderful, deeply compassionate woman and inspiring Christian.

A lovely outcome.

Ken Zeller was my friend and colleague. I will never forget what was done to him. I can’t believe we have returned to a world where his murder is celebrated https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kenneth_Zeller

Exactly the argument I've been having with Con candidates and supporters! If you don't know who the bad guys are in this movie you are either very ignorant or playing dumb and are complicit, probably for your own selfish, cruel reasons. I know what side I'm on.

“In his address to the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Trump vowed to "get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution."

I remember when Matthew was killed, and I'm grateful that he found a resting place with this beautiful woman ❤️

twacanadaorg.bsky.social•94 days ago

I met Matthew's parents while in Washington DC recently. Through their heartbreak, they've really changed the world.

But why did they have to?

wildplumbay.bsky.social•94 days ago

Every NDP politician should get off Twitter and Threads.

anakhari.bsky.social•94 days ago

Every politician who isn't a Conservative.

And any Canadian wary of being swayed by malicious propaganda.

emgeekay.bsky.social•85 days ago

I heard Matthew Shepard's mother speak at Western University. It was so moving. I will never forget the day they found him - an unspeakable tragedy.

mentorminute.bsky.social•94 days ago

Violence should never be condoned when it concerns someone's life. Never.

sportingjim.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thank you

aboynamedstu.bsky.social•94 days ago

I wish you would run for PM. You seem to truly understand what being a Canadian means.

rosemaryd52.bsky.social•94 days ago

Did you all see there is a petition in support of Bishop Budde? https://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/thank-you-budde?akid=s663058..RoXMCu&fbclid=IwY2xjawIBIAtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUSX2G6W6Y6oZPMHsXOhdAikiw6XZwjVziALigX_DLC72PSVRO0McHdFWA_aem_dCdMZ6zBW3FNxYJsglZW8w

funnunn1714.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yes. My bro who is in my country's diplomatic corps, just sent it to our fam for us to sign. Let's amplify it here.

krash0013.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thank you Mr Angus 💙Canadian living in the US with my wife…terrifying times we are entering…thank you for being a voice of clarity, empathy and leadership! I’ve never, ever been so proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦
Viva la Resistance ✊🏻💙🇨🇦

saltshakerannie.bsky.social•94 days ago

I remember that happening and it was stomach churning 😢

rexxferal.bsky.social•94 days ago

I'm not a believer, but I know kindness when I see it. Isn't it sad that an act of goodness makes a splash because it's so rare.

captncanada.bsky.social•83 days ago

HELL YES, Charlie.

Go for the jugular. Canadians may be kind but we can also be absolute snipers like @charlieangus104.bsky.social. 🫡

4crying0utloud.bsky.social•94 days ago

amen

writerartisteh.bsky.social•94 days ago

We'll never lose that grief, for Matthew or many others.

kate35.bsky.social•94 days ago

The story of Matthew Shepard can still reduce me to tears 20 years later.
This woman is a hero.

snorider.bsky.social•94 days ago

This woman is the real thing. She is compassionate and kind and willing to bravely stand up for those who have no voice, with no regard to personal risk.

amandaeeee.bsky.social•94 days ago

Seriously, this woman may be convincing me to believe. In a world full of hate, be like Bishop Budde 🫶🏻

violinautie.bsky.social•94 days ago

She may be the reason I step foot in a church of similar denomination again this Sunday.

brownsimple.bsky.social•94 days ago

Then why did this bishop support the genocide in Palestine ongoing?

mzmazz.bsky.social•94 days ago

I will resist anything that is designed to hurt other people or to strip them of their dignity.

sharonlg.bsky.social•94 days ago

Americans need to find their collective voice and march in protest. Being quiet will solve nothing.

sinbrujula.bsky.social•93 days ago

I am going to annoy you by repeatedly saying that you have become one of my heros and, I don’t often feel this way about anyone in the political arena. Thank you for being DECENT, bc in my opinion, this is our biggest failing as humans, our decency has been compromised.

valynor.bsky.social•94 days ago

I'm really impressed by Rev. Budde and I say that as an atheist.

I do fear for her though, Trump and his bullies will not tolerate this kind of open resistance and I'm afraid they will find a way to get back to her. :-(

martinrayner.bsky.social•93 days ago

Another atheist here to agree with you in support of the Bishop. Never thought I’d be saying words like that, but such are the times we now live in.

chungasr.bsky.social•94 days ago

Atheist here too but admire and respect those who truly demonstrate their faith like Rev. Budde and Jimmy Carter.
I fear for her as well.

sparkesw.bsky.social•94 days ago

What gets me is this? Did they have no idea who would be speaking to them in THAT church, and given her views expressed in the past, that she might speak her truth in her own church? Are they so used to sycophants that they weren’t even checking first. It was perfect! Perfect!

silvernepeta.bsky.social•94 days ago

Somebody on Trmp’s advance team has probably already lost their job over missing this detail about Bishop Budde….

martinrayner.bsky.social•93 days ago

Pretty sure it was intentional. Perverse as it may seem. Trump was surely familiar with her editorial from years ago blasting him. This was a defiant middle-finger to all of the “good” namby-pamby liberal Christians out there who oppose him.

heka511.bsky.social•94 days ago

But did they know what would happen 🤔😏

silvernepeta.bsky.social•94 days ago

Even if… this was going to come out eventually and it’s not a good look for aspiring 4th Reich.

naturalwanderer.bsky.social•94 days ago

Any other human would have listened and nodded with the grace and understanding that with great power, comes great responsibility. FOTUS INSULTED AND THREATENED TO HAVE HER REMOVED. The American voter wears all of this.

avlgal.bsky.social•91 days ago

Now that you mention it, I do remember that. The murder of Mathew Sheppard was heartbreaking. People can be so cruel & evil. This story was horrible! 😣

thejanetchannel.bsky.social•94 days ago

So true 😀

doumac.bsky.social•94 days ago

Pure love, compassion for others, and strength confronting evil.

Did you see their faces? Fear of the truth.

bigskynorth.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yes, still cry about his death. And Budde is a saint.

susie2cue.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yes, #BishopBudde should be nominated for sainthood. Someone who is truly doing Jesus’ work in this hate-filled world. At the least, make her Archbishop of Canterbury. What a role model she is!

bigskynorth.bsky.social•94 days ago

I just love her and hope to hear more of her good works. She has a platform and the attention I hope she takes advantage of it.

13thlatchkeykid.bsky.social•94 days ago

When the one that endorses slavery, indoctrination or death, and incites homophonic rhetoric globally all in the name of an invisible man seems like the reaonable one. Strange times indeed.
