A nine-hour prayer rally backed by figures inside Donald Trump's administration is set to unfold in Washington this weekend, blurring the line between political spectacle and religious revivalism. Organisers say the event will 'rededicate' America to God.
The gathering, titled 'Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,' is expected to fill parts of the National Mall with evangelical pastors, worship leaders and senior Republican officials promoting the idea that the US was founded explicitly as a Christian nation. Critics see something more hard-edged taking shape inside Trump's second presidency.
