2/3

Chapter 6 of "How We Learn to Be Brave" discusses (among other things) how to move on after making a big mistake. An example is that the National Cathedral invited Max Lucado to speak as part of the Cathedral's virtual Sunday worship. Although his speech didn't contain offensive content, people were upset because Lucado had a history of saying awful things about LGBTQ+ people. Budde recognized the harm done by platforming Lucado, and apologized.

I would have liked to see her explain why she doesn't feel the same about some of the platforming that she did in the pages of "How We Learn to Be Brave". The book contains numerous positive references to clergy that she seems to regard as friends or mentors, even though they belong to religious groups that reject both the equality of LGBTQ+ people and the ordination of women. I have immense respect for Budde, but my respect for her became less with each positive reference to individuals who belong to bigoted religious groups. I am 100% certain that she disagrees strenuously with their institutions about both LGBTQ+ rights and women's rights. Why, then, did she platform them?
