Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, Catholic Cardinal Donald Wuerl, and Imam Mohamed Magid of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society will be joined by Jewish, Mormon, and Hindu leaders and more than half a dozen evangelicals at the ceremony on Saturday (Jan. 21, 2017), which will feature prayers, readings and hymns, but no sermon.
The 2017 National Prayer Service has been a subject of controversy similar to the political one that preceded Trump’s swearing-in at the Capitol. In dueling commentaries, the past and present deans of the neo-Gothic church disagreed about whether the church that calls itself “A House of Prayer for All People" should open its doors to the 45th president.

2017 Inaugural Prayer Service
The President and Vice President will come to the Cathedral for an interfaith service of prayer, music and scripture readings, designed to reflect the diversity of our nation and to remind the President that he is called to lead all us, not just a narrow few.
