It's not a national church. It's the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, DC. |

You don't get out much, do you? If you really believe that transgender people are not at risk under the current administration, then you're not paying any attention at all. |

It's also where national events are held, like Jimmy Carter's Funeral . And George Washington himself - according to the guided tour I got of the Cathedral - decided that a National Cathedral should be built there, on the highest hill in Washington. |

All well and good, but it's not a "national church." |

https://cathedral.org/discover/history/ "The idea for a sacred home for all Americans in the nation’s capital is as old as the country itself. Pierre L’Enfant’s original design for the new capital city included a “great church for national purposes,” an idea that sat idle until a congressional charter authorized a cathedral dedicated to religion, education and charity, in 1893. Construction began in 1907, when President Theodore Roosevelt helped lay the foundation stone. Through world wars, the Great Depression and immense social change, construction ended exactly 83 years after it began, when President George H.W. Bush oversaw the laying of the final stone atop the towers, in 1990. The Cathedral is an active member of The Episcopal Church and is supported by generous donors from across the globe; we receive no direct support from the federal government or any national church body." |

Clicking on the link: 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 59 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism and condemning its distorted message. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 23, 2025 Mr. Brecheen (for himself, Mr. Clyde, Mr. Grothman, Mr. Burlison, Mrs. Miller of Illinois, Mr. Harris of North Carolina, Mrs. Bice, Mrs. Luna, Mr. Moore of Alabama, Mr. Ogles, Ms. Greene of Georgia, Mr. Norman, Mr. Webster of Florida, Mr. Allen, Mr. Babin, Mrs. Houchin, Ms. Van Duyne, Mr. Baird, Mrs. Biggs of South Carolina, Ms. Boebert, and Mr. Griffith) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism and condemning its distorted message. Whereas the National Prayer Service is a longstanding tradition in which the United States publicly affirms dependence upon God and prays for the success of our President and Vice President; Whereas, on January 21, 2025, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance took part in the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC; and Whereas the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde, the bishop leading the inaugural prayer service, used her position inappropriately, promoting political bias instead of advocating the full counsel of biblical teaching: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That— (1) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism; and (2) the House of Representatives condemns the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde’s distorted message. |
