Washington National Cathedral:
A New Century, A New Calling

Film

This documentary hour-long film examines the role of the National Cathedral 100 years after the beginning of its construction and at the dawn of the third millennium. Archival footage and photographs depict the amazing 83-year construction era ending with the placement of the final finial by President George H. W. Bush.

Looking into the future, the film explores the relevance of a Cathedral in the 21st century as a sacred space for an increasingly diverse nation and its response to the needs and expectations of Christianity in its many expressions while trying to work toward reconciliation with those who profess Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or other faiths.
