White House Plans Mass Prayer Event to Reclaim America's Christian Origins

The White House is staging a nine-hour mass prayer on the National Mall as part of the U.S. 250th anniversary celebrations, with top Trump administration officials and evangelical leaders slated to speak and President Trump expected to appear via video. Organizers frame it as rededicating the nation to God and its Christian foundations, but critics warn it signals a push toward Christian nationalism and raises concerns about church-state separation in a public ceremony.
