The Cathedral marks the 250th anniversary of the United States with an interfaith service on July 3. Lifting themes of pluralism and the common good, We Hold These Truths to be Self-Evident celebrates the nation’s ideals alongside an honest reckoning of its history and unfinished work. The service honors individuals who have shown extraordinary courage and bravery in service to our shared life together, affirming that the work of a more perfect union is never finished and never done alone.
In partnership with The Courage Project, this service of scripture, readings and music features representation from diverse religious traditions and contributions from spiritual and civic leaders including Canon Historian Jon Meacham.
Part of the Cathedral’s A Better Way initiative, in partnership with The Courage Project, Freedom Together Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, and McKnight Foundation.
