“We could not ask for a better partner in showing the beauty and diversity of worship in the Episcopal Church especially during Holy Week and Easter,” commented Mike Collins, manager of multimedia services for the Episcopal Church.
“Washington National Cathedral is pleased to collaborate with the Episcopal Church Center to offer the live webcasts of our services to a broader audience through the church’s new website,” said the Rev. Dr. Francis H. Wade, interim Cathedral dean. “The Cathedral is called to be the spiritual home for the nation, but the National Cathedral is also the mother church for Anglicans in the United States. As the seat of the Presiding Bishop, the Cathedral continues to serve the Episcopal Church and is proud to create this opportunity for deeper collaboration.”
