Honest to God: Jose Andres (National Cathedral presentation): Virtual event details

 cathedral dot-org

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 | 7:00 p.m.

Jose Andres spends an evening in intimate conversation with Dean Randolph Marshall Hollerith and Canon Missioner Leonard Hamlin about leadership, inspiration and public service.  Dean Hollerith and Canon Hamlin invite Andres to pull back the curtain and share the stories behind his internationally recognized humanitarian efforts to eliminate poverty and feed the hungry.  


Washington National Cathedral presents Honest to God, an online series featuring wisdom leaders, theologians and others offering spiritual content for these times.   

Honest to God programs bring together people from different faith traditions to discuss how the values of their faith influence their work and leadership.  Our national life has been plagued in recent years by those who seek to tear down rather than to build up; to widen the divide instead of repairing the breach. Through intimate conversation and the sharing of stories, Honest to God speakers offer honesty, authenticity and faith at a time when our country is in dire need of such a generous gift.
