Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism and condemning its distorted message.

HRES 59 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' disapproval of a sermon delivered by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer Service on January 21, 2025, at the National Cathedral. It declares the sermon "a display of political activism" and condemns its "distorted message," though it does not change any laws or policies. The resolution directly addresses the bishop's remarks during a nonpartisan religious event, making no concrete policy changes but reflecting the House's view on the content of that specific sermon. As a procedural resolution, it has no legal effect beyond expressing the House's stance.
