Holding on to Hope – Sunday, November 1

Episcopal Church of the USA

Holding on to Hope: A National Service for Healing and Wholeness, with a combination of live and pre-recorded elements, will be live streamed on November 1, 2020, from the Washington National Cathedral at 4:00 p.m. EST.

The service, available in English and Spanish, will create a common space for us to come together to mourn, confess, and seek guidance as we look not only to our own interest but to the interest of our neighbors and country as well. 

The Episcopal Church and Washington National Cathedral are hosting the service and Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will preach. Ecumenical and interfaith voices will also join, including Fr. James Martin, S.J., and Valarie Kaur. Prayers for the country’s healing and wholeness will be led by faith leaders including Eboo Patel, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Rabbi Shoshana Conover, and Shane Claiborne. 

A live prayer hotline will be open during the service in partnership with TryTank. To receive a reminder about this service, text HOLDING to 51555.
