Clergy strive to reconcile politically divided congregations in U.S.A.
Faith leaders of various religions say they are facing congregations that are divided more than ever due to politics.
One member of Rabbi David Wolpe’s diverse congregation left because Wolpe would not preach sermons criticizing Donald Trump. Scores of others left over resentment with the synagogue’s rules for combating COVID-19. But Wolpe remains steadfast in his resolve to avoid politics when he preaches at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles.
