…Hirschfeld’s speech cited several historical #clergy members who had risked their lives to protect others, including mentioning #NewHampshire seminary student Jonathan Daniels, who was shot & killed by a sheriff’s deputy in Alabama while shielding a young Black #CivilRights activist in 1965.

“I have told the #clergy of the #Episcopal diocese of New Hampshire that we may be entering into that same witness,” Hirschfeld said. “And I’ve asked them to get their affairs in order, to make sure they have their wills written, because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies, to stand between the powers of this world & the most vulnerable.”

“Those of us who are ready to build a new world, we also have to be prepared. If we truly want to live without #fear, we cannot fear even death itself, my friends,” he said.

Other #religious leaders have also called on #Christians to protect the vulnerable amid the uptick in #immigration enforcement under the #Trump admin, including Most Rev Sean W Rowe, the presiding bishop of the #EpiscopalChurch.
