Trump-backed prayer festival on National Mall draws thousands: ‘We welcome Jesus!’ - The Washington Post
Overview
A White House-backed prayer festival called "Rededicate 250" drew thousands to a block of the National Mall for an evangelical-style, daylong worship event that included patriotic imagery and a presidential video message. Critics said the gathering presented an inaccurate view of the United States as an explicitly Christian nation and risked erasing the constitutional separation between church and state. The prayer event occurred alongside other semiquincentennial programming on the Mall, including a secular Great American State Fair music festival featuring acts such as The Commodores and Flo Rida, underscoring contrasting civic and cultural events taking place during the 250th observances.
