Episcopal Parish Won’t Pray for President by Name
https://juicyecumenism.com/2017/01/09/do...mp-prayer/
Too funny
Quote:Citing “an active danger to health and safety” a California Episcopal parish has ceased to pray for the President of the United States by name.
...
“If you come to All Saints this Sunday, you’ll notice that we have removed the proper names from our prayers for those in authority. Whereas before we prayed for “Barack, our president,” we are now praying for “our president, our president-elect, and all others in authority.” This practice will continue for at least the near future.
We are in a unique situation in my lifetime where we have a president elect whose name is literally a trauma trigger to some people – particularly women and people who, because of his words and actions, he represents an active danger to health and safety.”

Seems counter-intuitive. If you're worried, shouldn't you pray for him even more than someone you are comfortable with? They should add the J. Trump instead of removing the Donald.
