The National Prayer Breakfast was a reminder of gospel hope amid political division

Amid the raucous ructions that often divide US politics, Carrie Lloyd saw a desire for togetherness that gave her hope at the National Prayer Breakfast. And with hope and prayer, we can move mountains, she says

The US National Prayer Breakfast has occurred annually since 1953. Held in Washington DC, politicians, faith leaders and global heads of state attend a series of meetings, luncheons and dinners over a 36-hour period.

The President has attended this event every year until the current administration. This year, congress decided to host an additional, more intimate event just for congress members. It was a triumph for Biden; more congress members than ever before gathered in Capitol’s National Statuary Hall for the President’s speech, streamed live to 2,100 attendees at the Washington Hilton.
