Rev. Canon Dr. Howard Anderson, Warden of the Cathedral College, and Kathy Spaar, faculty member, share with Liz Ellmann the commitment of National Cathedral to prayer, pilgrimage and spiritual direction. 

In the past year, twenty two participants completed the inaugural “Art of Spiritual Companionship” course sponsored by The Cathedral Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC, USA.  The course provides participants an opportunity to deepen their spiritual life and discern with others their gift for spiritual direction.
