The harder choice is our only hope

Dear Peter,

It’s easy to stop listening to people when we disagree with them. It’s easy to let frustration take over and dismiss another person when their values conflict with ours. Contempt is easy.

Love is the harder choice, but it’s also our only hope.

At Washington National Cathedral, we are committed to doing the hard work that leads to life and hope, for the sake of our own souls and for our nation and the world.

With the help of Cathedral supporters like you, we’re creating a platform for respectful conversation, compassion and shared values in public life at a time when things feel divided. Our “A Better Way” initiative encourages us to treat one another with dignity, to care about the common good and to look for understanding across differences.

This work is urgent and growing. To sustain it, we must finish our fiscal year strong by June 30.That’s why I’m writing to ask you, if you’re able, please make a gift of any amount today.

We’re seeking to raise $300,000 by June 30,and your gift can go twice as far right now thanks to a $50,000 challenge from a generous Cathedral friend. (If you’ve already made a fiscal year-end gift and our letters crossed, thank you!)

Peter, every worship service, concert, forum and building repair is an expression of our Cathedral family’s desire to support hope and healing. We receive no federal funding or financial contributions from any national church body.

That means this work depends on people like you.

Your gift today will join with others from across the country to help us move forward with the programs and services you love. Thank you for being a part of this work.

In Faith,

The Very Rev. Randy Hollerith
Dean
