Washington National Cathedral - National house of prayer
Washington National Cathedral's role as the national house of prayer has over the years united Americans in several religious and secular services hosted at the site. During World War II, monthly services “on behalf of a united people in a time of emergency” were held.
Washington National Cathedral - Major events
Washington National Cathedral has played host to many major events, showing the cathedral's proud distinction as being "the national house of prayer for all people." Some of the major events that showed the cathedral's proud distinction include:
- State funerals of two American presidents:
- Dwight Eisenhower (1969)
- Eisenhower lay in repose at the cathedral before lying in state
- Ronald Reagan (2004) [1]
- Funeral for Katharine Graham (2001)
- Presidential prayer service the day after a presidential inauguration
- Memorial services. Most notable ones:
- President Harry Truman (1973)
- Truman had planned a state funeral and burial at the cathedral. However, due the advanced age of his wife, Bess when he died, all the services were done in Missouri and were private. Foreign dignitaries gathered for a memorial service at the cathedral a week after the funeral.
- Victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks in 2001 during which George W. Bush declared: "Our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil." He also claimed: "This nation is peaceful" and "our unity is a kinship of grief, and a steadfast resolve to prevail against our enemies. And this unity against terror is now extending across the world." [2] While the rest of the world heard Bush, Canada saw the simultaneous service on Parliament Hill, the largest single vigil there, in the nation's capital.
In addition, Washington National Cathedral's pulpit was the last one from which Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke prior to his assassination in 1968.
Many major events have been interfaith services, showing the cathedral's proud distinction. Services held at the cathedral that fall in this category are the 9/11 memorial service and the Reagan funeral.
