Saints of Washington

In this special Saints of Washington episode, Karen Wright Marsh tells the stories of four “saints” who lived, worked and witnessed in the city they called home: George Washington, Carter G. Woodson, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland and Marie H. Reed.  Each, in their own way, expressed God’s love and mercy to the Washington, DC, area.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: George Washington (1732-1799)  

EDUCATION: Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950) 

UNITY: Joan Trumpauer Mulholland (1941- ) 

COMMUNITY: Marie H. Reed (1915-1969) 

This Saints of Washington podcast episode is part of Saints of the City (SotC), an outreach initiative of Theological Horizons, a ministry based at the University of Virginia.  SotC seeks to provide a warm environment for people from different ages, faith and cultural backgrounds, an invitation to connect with others and consider one aspect of spiritual truth or practical wisdom as modeled by a saint from the Christian tradition. 

Saints of the City has launched in Atlanta, Washington, DC/Northern Virginia, Charlottesville — and is coming soon to a city near you. Learn more.  Join us!  https://www.theologicalhorizons.org/saints
