Rededicate 250 is a prayer gathering organized by Freedom 250, a public-private partnership backed by the White House.
WASHINGTON — Thousands of people streamed onto the National Mall for a daylong prayer rally Sunday billed as a \"rededication of our country as One Nation under God\".
Against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, worship music blared from a stage that made clear the event\'s Christian focus. Arched stained-glass windows, set underneath grand columns resembling a federal building, depicted the nation\'s founders alongside a white cross. Several speakers celebrated Christianity\'s ties to American history, a blending of ideas that critics flagged ahead of the prayer gathering as supporting Christian nationalism. President Donald Trump was expected to address the gathering in a video message.
Other top Republicans, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. , were also on the schedule as part of the celebrations this year marking 250 years of U.S. independence. \"If being a Christian nationalist means loving Jesus Christ and loving America, count me in\", said the Rev. Robert Jeffress on stage
