Review this report as; AP seizes an opportunity to attack Christianity and Trump by reporting story in this manner which they would have spiked if the person was a democrat.
The Rev. Donnie Anderson is the epitome with of the liberal clergy destroying mainline protestant churches. The suffering of the people is oblivious to her as she seizes an opportunity to score her own political points with the media by condemning the president for staging what she views a political event. She wasn’t present for the event yet somehow she essentially asserts she possess the power of God to discern the motivations of someone at the event and to pass judgment on that person.
Perhaps Ms. Anderson should spend less time attending to the administration of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches and more time reading the scripture. I highly recommend Matthew 7:5 — “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”
My favorite line: “Then a 10-year-old girl asked Trump to sign her pink camouflaged Bible.”
some are offended and others say he could have handled it differently.

This is an example of one of the disgusting ploys that journalists and other scribblers commonly use that I detest. It goes without saying that rarely if ever does everyone on the planet share a favorable view of an issue, or agree that something could NOT have been handled “differently”. So the only purpose of such an asinine statement is to make sure gullible readers are reminded that they too can feel offended and be critical.
I know which one God is more offended by...
Rhode Island Council of Churches? An atheistic organization in one of our more atheistic states? Now there is a really unbiased source, eh?
Just think if that bible had been signed by a controversial president, say, Abraham Lincoln, on a visit to the area after a crisis had befallen the area. It would be, of course, a cherished memento, not heresy.
I wish I had been keeping track of all the phony outrage stories about PDJT doing this or that.

Unless you have a great deal of idle time on your hands, I don’t think you could have done it anyway!
You are spot on. Today Family Bibles are used by geneologists to track not only family history but community history. Being comforted by the POTUS in a time of tragedy is something a family will treasure and should be recorded in a place of honor. A NYC millenial might chose to have it done in an iPhone selfie. An Alabama family of Faith would naturally choose thrir family Bible.
She's a he. The Reverend Anderson is a crossdresser. See my post above.
I'm sure the good Christians of devastated Alabama can relate.
Should libs be outraged that the government was printing bibles back then?
..........................................
Shhh! Man don’t let that cat out of the bag. The libs will all be gobsmacked if they find out about it!
I have my pocket sized New Testament & Psalms from deployment in 2003; issued by the chaplain.
“That’s a man, baby!!”
If the media people that are on the attack for this bothered to read the Bible, they’d find in the 10 Commandments:
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour”
Guess they were absent the day that was taught.

Yes...
“The Rev. Donnie Anderson said she feels the happiest and freest she’s been. The 70-year-old ordained Baptist minister made the transition to becoming a woman over the summer.
I never doubted God’s love for me, Anderson said Monday.
Anderson made the transition during a three-month sabbatical from her work as the executive minister of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches....
...For more than a decade, Anderson has been known as the face of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches, which is a Christian-based interfaith organization that advocates for peace and social justice. She said the organization embraced her transition and granted her the sabbatical...”

At one time, births were noted in the family Bible which was of help in enrolling children in school, etc. when substantiation was needed.

They do a tremendous amount of damage. Wonder if they support gay marriage?
This is the Trump Bible-signing press whine. Not to be confused with Trump MAGA-hat-signing with US troops press whine.
F' you, you fake poser.
anytime you read that someone works for “peace and social justice” you should automatically assume they are part of the liberal hate trump clan. This man makes my stomach lurch.
