“Let me be clear, the president just used a Bible
the most sacred text of the Judeo-Christian tradition
and one of the churches of my diocese, without permission
as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus,”
The Right Rev Mariann Budde : the Episcopal bishop of Washington .
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, Primate of the Episcopal church
accused the president of using the church and Bible for “partisan political purposes”. He added:

we need leaders to help us to be ‘one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all’.”
