Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will join other faith leaders and elders in Washington, DC to launch the Reclaiming Jesus Declaration at a church service followed by a silent candlelight vigil to the White House on Thursday, May 24.
All are invited to attend the event, beginning at 7 pm Eastern at the National City Christian Church,
5 Thomas Circle NW, Washington DC. At the Church Service, Presiding
Bishop Curry will join 10 faith leaders and elders in prayer and
preaching. Following the church service at 8:30 pm, an estimated crowd
of more than 1000 will follow Presiding Bishop Curry and the faith
leaders and elders as they process from National City Christian Church
to the White House.
"The church service, the procession to the
White House, and silent candlelight vigil is planned in response to the
moral and political crises at the highest levels of political leadership
that are putting both the soul of the nation and the integrity of
Christian faith at stake," noted the Rev. Jim Wallis, President and
Founder, Sojourners. "The elders call upon all Christians to remember
that our identity in Jesus precedes every other identity."
The Episcopal Church Office of Communications will livestream the church service, procession and silent vigil here.
