Mark Dever unapologetically preaches from the Word of God in a region of the country that is desperate for truth.

If you are in the DC area and need a great Church that speaks truth directly from the Bible, I would give this place a visit!

However, the community was incredibly unkind. As first-time visitors, we were unsure where to go when we arrived, and no one offered assistance. Despite seeing us looking lost, ushers and other church workers neither greeted us nor helped us find our way. When we finally located the sanctuary and asked about the children's classes, the ushers continued to walk past without speaking, and some looked at us without offering a greeting or welcome. As I walked down the hall, a woman who seemed to be either a church worker or a regular member shoved past me, looked me up and down, and continued on to talk to someone else. During our almost three-hour visit, only three people spoke to us: two ladies who sat near us and one person we happened to know. We are African American, but there were many other African Americans and people of color in attendance, which made the unkindness we experienced even more confusing. This level of unkindness and disregard was something we had never encountered in a church before. It was deeply disappointing to witness such a beautiful and meaningful service, only to see the absence of Christ's love in how the members and workers treated visitors. Despite arriving early and seeing numerous people with "usher" badges, not a single one welcomed us. My hope is that this church, with its beautiful service, learns to demonstrate the love of God they preach about by showing kindness to visitors. Training ushers to greet and welcome newcomers could make a significant difference. We had heard so many wonderful things about this church and were excited to visit. We were hungry for good theological teaching, hymns, and solid Christian fellowship. Instead, we left feeling unwelcome in the community.

One thing is that slender altar coordinator does not understand that after afternoon mass a few of us are there to pray. She has interrupted several people while they were praying to urge them to attend the Novena. "It will only take two minutes," she tells us, as if in admonition. This interruption was not polite, but in your face. The family masses are friendly, but weekdays, some people seem overly somber and caught up in reflection to the point of a weird head-trip they can't even offer a Christian hello, smile, or ask. So I invite this prayer for all visitors & regulars that whoever they are, rich or poor, whatever color, whatever employment, that they feel safe, cherished and welcome.

Please help me to express my gratitude and appreciation for my colleagues.

We stumbled into a Sunday service (and free parking) during a recent visit to DC and experienced a bit of the worship service with live music. Welcoming staff handed out well-produced program books to all who wandered in. The cathedral offers various tours or self-guided sightseeing, and you can even climb the bell tower. As serious as the whole facade may appear, there are winking playful elements hidden throughout, such as a Darth Vader limestone grotesque, and a stained glass window depicting a space theme. Be sure not to miss the Bishop's Garden - beside the outdoor cafe - an intimate and contemplative space with a gazebo and landscaped grounds and paths. Whether you're religious or not, it's a beautiful and meditative place to retreat to from the bustle of the outside world.
