Washington National Cathedral - Worship
The worship department, led by the Rev. Carol L. Wade, like the cathedral itself, is rooted in the doctrine and practice of the Episcopal Church, and based in the Book of Common Prayer. Four (five in the summer) services are held each weekday, including the daily Mass. On Monday through Thursday (as well as Sunday), the Cathedral Choirs sing Evensong. The forty minute service is attended by roughly fifty to seventy-five people (more on Sunday). Five services of the Eucharist are also held on Sundays, including the Contemporary Folk Mass held in the Chapel of St. Joseph of Arimathea and a Healing Eucharist in the late evening.
The cathedral also has been a temporary home to several congregations, including a Jewish pro-synangogue and an Eastern Orthodox community. It has also been the site for several ecumenical and/or interfaith services. In October, 2005 at the cathedral, Rev. Nancy Wilson was consecrated and installed as Moderator ("Presiding Bishop") of the Metropolitan Community Church by its founding Moderator, Rev. Troy Perry.
Each Christmas, the cathedral holds special services that are broadcast to the world. The service of lessons and carols is distributed by Public Radio International and broadcast live. Christmas at Washington National Cathedral is a live television broadcast of the 9 AM Mass on Christmas Day. It is produced by Albritton Communications and is shown on national affiliates in most cities around the United States. Some affiliates broadcast the service at noon. The Christmas service at the cathedral has been broadcast to the nation on television since 1953.
