The Cathedral opens its doors to members of different faith traditions for interfaith worship, study, and dialogue. Each year, a service incorporating elements from the three Abrahamic traditions, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, is celebrated as an observance of Thanksgiving. This focus is reflected in the Hebrew inscription on the ambo, and on the Muslim prayer rug on which the altar table stands.
The Cathedral also collaborates with its partners in residence, The Philadelphia Interfaith Network and the Arts and Spirituality Center, as well as the Diocesan Interfaith Committee, and other local groups which also seek mutual understanding.
“Is it not written, my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations?” Matthew 11:17
