President Trumps controversial foray to St. Johns Church on Monday is generating widespread criticism, after police and National Guard troops physically cleared out demonstrators and used tear gas to allow a photo opportunity outside the church. The bishop who oversees St. Johns is among the critics. He used violent means to ask to be escorted across the park into the courtyard of the church, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington tells NPRs Morning Edition . He held up his Bible after speaking an inflammatory militarized approach to the wounds of our nation. The bishop continued: He did not pray.

When her father got hurt, a 15-year-old Indian girl used their last $20 to buy a rickety, hot pink bicycle, and pedaled him more than 700 miles to their home village across India in a heroic, life-saving ride while under coronavirus lockdown. The story of Jyoti Kumaris epic bike ride has made her a media celebrity, prompted praise from Ivanka Trump and launched a debate about whether the real story is the fact that the teenager felt she had no other way to get her father to safety. In January, Kumaris father, Mohan Paswan, a tuk-tuk driver, was injured in a traffic accident. He lives in Gurugram, a suburb of New Delhi, Indias capital, and works long hours ferrying passengers on his motorized rickshaw. Paswan sends money home to his wife and children in the eastern state of Bihar, more than 700 miles away. But after the accident, Paswan couldnt drive. He needed care. So Kumari hopped on a cross-country train and moved in with her father to nurse him back to health. Then the
