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.

Its 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.
Good for you! I left that cold, dead church decades ago and never looked back. They continue to prove to me that I made the right decision, and this abomination is just the most recent reminder.
God bless Franklin Graham.
“And I would say to Muslims in this country, if they want to practice sharia law, go back to where you came from, to those nations that recognize sharia law.”
I could not agree more!
The one thing I miss most...communion.
Many in the church went through the motions. You say blah blah blah, then kneel and repeat.
Communion is a very special time for me and love when I am able to celebrate it.
There are some very conservative Anglican parishes I attend from time to time. Usually go to either of two cowboy churches in my area. They are cool, but communion is just not the same ya know.
They want it because it will house more munitions than your average sized mosque.
Not only sad, but very disgusting and very un-American.
The Episcopal ‘’Church’’ just keeps digging itself into a hole...
And you still can't offer a reason to deny Islamic worship in the national cathedral: because there is none.
Didn’t you know America is a Muslim country? :-)
Then we should get rid of the fanatics. After all, isn’t Islam the ROP?
And fanatics don’t belong in a ROP.
So how many suicide bombers will be in attendance? You know how much they love to blow up everyone else’s places of worship.
America is much, much more wicked.
We will see the wrath of God on America.
A matter of curiosity, the identity of the women who cried out in support of her Christian Faith and thus removed from the premises. Anyone know her name and who she might be? And her abductors, how was she treated and where did the take her? TIA
