New Hampshire bishop warns after ICE shooting that a 'new era of martyrdom' is upon us

Episcopal Bishop Rob Hirschfeld is catching flak from the White House for making the statement at a vigil for ICE shooting victim Renee Good.

He adds that “Christians shouldn’t fear death” and that they should “stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”.

I don’t believe someone in this type of position would say something like this, unless a profound shift in society is taking place.

    One of the first churches to ordain women, and gays, and they’re quite often on the correct side of social issues

    OK, sure, but publicly saying that it’s God will to die in battle against the gestapo is still something else entirely. It might be logical that this is the first church to say it, but the fact that any church (or other element of established instotutions) says something like this is absolutely insane (laudatory). I’m tempted to use the term “prerevolutionary conditions”.
