A couple years ago I was in D.C and visited the National Cathedral. It was a Sunday (randomly) and when we arrived, she was up there giving a sermon. The tour was about 15 minutes away from starting, so we sat and listened. I’m not religious in any way, but listening to her was absolutely amazing. She was talking about love, acceptance, and how to show people love and care. There was hardly any religious statements, or even any bible quotes. Her oratory skills were among the best I’ve ever heard (I’m no expert though). It was absolutely amazing to hear her speak. Afterwards, she gave every single person there a hug (if they wanted one). People lined up to get a hug from her.
I’m not religious, but I appreciate cool architecture. I went here, not even knowing that the church is nondenominational. I also didn’t know the whole story behind Shepard, other than the brutal murder. I got to see their internment and read the story behind it. I gained a lot of respect for what the national cathedral represented that day.

It was something to behold for sure.
