Washington National Cathedral today (Dec. 18, 2012) announced plans to host a national prayer service in celebration of the Fifty-seventh Presidential Inaugural. In partnership with the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Committee, the Cathedral will welcome President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with dignitaries and Americans of diverse faiths. The interfaith service will celebrate the previous day’s events through prayer, readings, and musical performances. The service on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 10:30 a.m., will be ticketed by invitation only and also webcast live at www.nationalcathedral.org.
“The Inaugural Prayer Service is an historic observance that Washington National Cathedral is honored to host once again for President Barack Obama,” said the Very Rev. Gary Hall, dean of the Cathedral. “The Cathedral has come to be known as a spiritual home for the nation, and as part of living into that calling, it is our prayer that the service will embody the hopes and vision of our nation, and that God’s purpose might shine forth with new clarity in our lives.”
“The beginning of President Obama’s second term will be marked by the acknowledgement and celebration of the role of people of faith in American life,” said Presidential Inaugural Committee Spokeswoman Addie Whisenant. “President Obama’s own faith has played an integral role in his life, his commitment to service and his presidency, and this important tradition will celebrate the values and diversity that make us strong.”
