Marianne Budd is the female priest, who has served as the bishop of Washington DC since 20011, and is no stranger to controversial decisions. In her homily for the 2025 prayer service for Donal Trump's inauguration, she stressed compassion and mercy toward the marginalized. This did not sit well with the President and his cabinet.
When I saw that she had written a book on how to be brave, I bought it. How We Learn to Be Brave, at first seemed to be just a memoir. More into the book, she tells how other people stepped up, when the time called for it.
This is a book that highlights how people when faced with certain key moments react: Jesus, Esther, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, etc. They seemed to all be willing to take risks. They didn't give up. Not that they are always successful, but they persevere.
