 RESOLUTION

 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon 
given by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer 
Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display 
 of political activism and condemning its distorted message.

Whereas the National Prayer Service is a longstanding tradition in which the 
 United States publicly affirms dependence upon God and prays for the 
 success of our President and Vice President;
Whereas, on January 21, 2025, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. 
 Vance took part in the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral 
 in Washington, DC; and
Whereas the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde, the bishop leading the inaugural 
 prayer service, used her position inappropriately, promoting political 
 bias instead of advocating the full counsel of biblical teaching: Now, 
 therefore, be it
 Resolved, That--

    (1) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
 the sermon given at the National Prayer Service on January 
 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of 
 political activism; and

    (2) the House of Representatives condemns the Right 
 Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde's distorted message.
