[quote=Anonymous]I'm Episcopalian, but some evangelicals are strongly opposed to Trump.

Like Jim Wallis of Sojourners, who had this to say this morning:

[quote]After using military forces to violently remove peaceful protesters of racial injustice, Trump strode with his federal police to stand in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, lift a Bible high in the air and get his picture taken — first alone and then with Cabinet members and White House staff. That afternoon Trump alluded to the Insurrection Act of 1806 when he threatened using U.S. military forces on American domestic soil, calling himself the “law and order president.”

Standing in front of the church, and surrounded by federal forces, Trump said America is the greatest country in the world. The president’s cynical and dangerous appeals to Christian nationalism is an affront to the mission of the church and the integrity of the gospel. His inflammatory words and reckless actions only pour gasoline on his flames of anger and racial injustice. It has been reported that Donald Trump had the Bible upside down when he lifted it up. That says it all.[/quote]
