[Episcopal News Service] A group of mostly Midwestern bishops, organized by Michigan Bishop Bonnie Perry, distributed a letter on Jan. 13 urging Episcopalians to stay home and not participate in public demonstrations in the wake of last week’s assault on the United States Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, who has been impeached an unprecedented second time.
The coming days are a critical moment for national security. At least 20,000 members of the National Guard are being deployed to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol from further violence and prepare for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
