I am an Episcopalian, and today while serving as a Chalice Bearer I prayed the oldest and most sacred Christian prayer: The "Our Father", in which we ask God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

I know you pray this prayer also. As a Christian you must know that the forgiveness that we receive for our trespasses is a special grace from God. Our country is in a profound moral crisis. We can either seek to heal ourselves by forgiveness as Christ commanded us to do. Or we can try to purge our ills as the Inquisition did in Spain. At this time in our history we need to work to heal our country. All I see you doing is bringing chaos, division and disaster to us all.

Sincerely,
