Donald Trump has made much to do about the seating at the Queen’s funeral. I am reminded of the parable of Jesus in Luke’s gospel about seating at the banquet. He said don’t sit down at the most honored seat because the host may come and say to move back and make room for someone more honored. He said to sit at the lowest seat and wait for the host to invite you to a more honored spot. Perhaps President Biden was thinking of this parable. It would have been really embarrassing to have been asked to take a lower seat.
