What does it portend when the president-elect does not put his hand on the Bible when he recites: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”?
Trump does not swear on Bible during inauguration, no impact on oath, Reuters, 20 Jan 2025.
Are you a follower of the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount?
I am.
My guess is that majority of us are. No matter our religious upbringing, we still follow and believe in the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew, chapters 5, 6, and 7.
In the spirit of the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, Right Rev Mariann Budde, Episcopal bishop of Washington, “…appealed directly to Donald Trump to “have mercy upon” communities across the country targeted by the new administration’s immigration and LGBTQ+ policies.” (Courtesy of Guardian News & Media Ltd)
