As it enters its second century, it is the mission of Washington National Cathedral to be a voice of generous-spirited Christianity, a place of reconciliation and healing, and people committed to service and to working for justice among the broken and hurting of our world. Inherent in this mission are the founding values of the Christian faith as taught by the Apostle Paul, which inspire this sterling silver ring: And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13).
