Bishop whose sermon lit up royal wedding to lead White House protest [View all]
Since so many on DU don't seem to understand that there are progressive Christians, and they vote.

(CNN)Fresh off his star-making sermon at the British royal wedding on Saturday, Episcopal Presiding Bishop Michael Curry plans to take part in a candlelight vigil and protest in front of the White House on Thursday.
Curry will be joined by leaders from Christian churches who say they are concerned about a "dangerous crisis of moral and political leadership at the highest levels of our government and in our churches." Those crises, Curry and the other Christian leaders say, put "the soul of the nation and the integrity of faith" at stake.
Organizers say they expect 1,000 people to turn out for a church service before the protest and for the protest itself, to be held on Thursday evening in Lafayette Square, a park across the street from the White House.

The sharply worded statement also calls "America first," a foreign-policy slogan endorsed by President Donald Trump, "theological heresy" and condemns the "normalization of lying" and "the resurgence of white nationalism, racism, and xenophobia; misogyny; attacks on immigrants, refugees, and the poor."

The mocking derisive disdain the irreligious have towards positive religious posts?
