Reverend Franklin Graham, son of world renowned evangelist Billy Graham, said the Muslim prayer service on Friday at the Washington National Cathedral, an Episcopal church established under a charter granted by Congress more than 100 years ago, is “sad to see” because the church should only open its door for worship of “the One True God of the Bible.”
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Nov. 13, Rev. Franklin Graham, who heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said, “Tomorrow, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. -- one of the most prominent Episcopal churches in America -- will host a Muslim prayer service to Allah.”

“It’s sad to see a church open its doors to the worship of anything other than the One True God of the Bible who sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to earth to save us from our sins,” said Graham. “Jesus was clear when He said, ‘I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’ (John 14:6).”
Muslim prayer carpets will be laid out inside the cathedral facing east, towards Mecca, for the prayer service. They will also be “to the side of the sanctuary,” reported Voice of America, so that worshippers will not see the crosses or Christian icons, because “Muslims are not supposed to pray in view of sacred symbols alien to their faith.”
According to Pew Research, Muslims represent about 0.6% of the U.S. adult population.
Such a move is rife with symbolism to muslimes.
We have a Muslim Communist in the WH that’s why.
Surprised?
The exact reason my family and I fled the Episcopal church 13 years ago.
Unbelievable.
The “invited guests” are not coming to pray.
They’re coming to consecrate. Or whatever you call it when a physical building is turned into a mosque.
I agree with Graham.
How many Mosques in the U. S. are lining up to allow Christians to use their facilities?
What will the sermon be? Death to the Infidels?
Islamic services can be held here, after the first Jewish service in an Mosque.
I say with all sadness that I will never walk inside the National Cathedral again, until it has been purified from the stench of heresy. The next time I go to DC, I think I will go instead to Holy Comforter-St Cyprian behind the Lincoln Memorial, for even as a Lutheran I will find much more of the Holy Comforter in Msgr. Pope’s Catholic church than can be found in the no-longer-National Cathedral.
Not exactly, but maybe close enough!
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel (message) of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
24:15 When ye therefore shall see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whose readeth, let him understand:)
24:16 Then let him which be in Judea flee into the mountains.
24:17 Let him which is on the house-top not come down to take anything out of his house....
24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
I doubt it. It's easier to post a comment on Facebook.
” How many Mosques in the U. S. are lining up to allow Christians to use their facilities?”
LMAO!!!!
I’ll bet he’ll have a front row seat.
In another thread on this story, someone suggested that under Muslim doctrine, the building is now technically converted to Islam.
Any truth to that?
