Thank you for laying all of this out so clearly. Considering the dire need for Congress to be taking a look at Musk's actions right now, even putting forward a resolution such as this one seems frivolous. Unless you look at their over-arching theme of suppression and oppression of everyone and everything that the fascists now in power don't want to have continue.
And that's without even considering the question whether they'd feel so emboldened to take on Bishop Budde if she were a HE - but because she's a woman, it fits with their anti-DEI agenda to go after her and this will unfortunately blind others who have the "the leopard won't eat my face" mindset.
Everything in America is more terrifying by the day. Thank you for keeping these actions in the public eye.
Again, this is a relatively small one, but also one I felt I had some competence to address. We all must speak our consciences where we can and when we can. In time, they may add up. And if not, we have still one the right thing.
Ah, thanks. Without any commentary on Rob's ministry or preaching, I have no problem with him stating his objections to the sermon in the context of a news article. If he endorsed the congressional resolution, that would be more problematic in his role as a minister of Word and Sacrament.
Thank you for speaking to this Chris. Excellent piece.

Your take on the radical Bishop of course is way off. It had zero to do with her gender and all to do with her radical beliefs
The short and sufficient answer to the question you raise is: ‘NO.’
Thanks for thoughtful article!

Haha, that would have saved a lot of words! :-)
Very well put. Thank you, Chris.
Dang.
Meanwhile on the other side of the PCA…

... a specific thing I should know about? Or am I the other side here?
Excellent points Chris
Thank you. I appreciate hearing a conservative critique of this resolution. You were clear and I was drawn into your analysis.
