Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde’s plea for mercy in Washington, D.C., was nothing new to regulars of Grace Episcopal Church

Everyone is welcome at Grace Episcopal Church—no exceptions.

To the editor:

The regular worshipers at Grace Episcopal Church in Great Barrington were pleased but not surprised by the plea for mercy and love from Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. We were not surprised because that is the kind of message you would hear weekly at Grace and every Episcopal parish. Grace is a church without a church, so we gather at Berkshire South Community Center at 10 a.m. every Sunday. Everyone is welcome—no exceptions. Explore who we are on our website.

The administration’s actions are cruel and counterproductive. We can only hope that it is not too late to regain much of what has already been lost.

We have lost so much in the transformation of these ancient days of honoring, giving thanks, and celebration, now trivialized and commercialized, as is so much of our impoverished culture.
