Cathedral Connects

Less than 24 hours after a gunman nearly killed former President Donald Trump, the Cathedral gathered for prayer — and to hear about speaking up for truth.

God of all mercies, we pray for the health and well-being of former President Trump. Keep him safe, protect the innocent, comfort those who mourn and those who were injured, and guard all those who serve our nation, including the brave members of the Secret Service.     

When 11 brave women put themselves forward for ordination 50 years ago, a young Rose Duncan remembers asking the rector at her parish in D.C. how he would address a female priest. His reply: "I don't."

Provost Jan Naylor Cope recognizes the significance of the 50th anniversary of women's ordination in The Episcopal Church, but still longs for the day when a female priest is just a priest, or a female bishop is just a bishop.

St. Paul wrote about the "thorn in the flesh," and the Rev. Jo Nygard Owens asks: what if the thorns in our lives aren't something to be avoided, but embraced?

The Rev. Dana Corsello was sitting next to a male parish leader when a parishioner congratulated him on a spectacular worship service. "Why are you telling me?" he responded. "She's sitting right here, and she's the rector."

D.C. takes on a different feel in the summer — and we've got a special chance for you to catch your breath and unwind here at the Cathedral.

Jesus broke barriers to love people into life. The question, Dean Randy Hollerith says, is: Will you do the same?

Provost Jan Naylor Cope is one of our most popular preachers -- and her sermon yesterday shows you why.

As the Cathedral and the nation prepare to celebrate the Juneteenth holiday, we were treated to a fiery sermon from Bishop Vashti McKenzie.
