WASHINGTON — Several high-profile Christian speakers addressed thousands who gathered Sunday on the National Mall for Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving, an all-day prayer and worship festival ahead of the 250th anniversary of United States independence.

Held to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress designating "a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayers" amid the trials of the Revolutionary War, several prominent faith leaders and Trump administration officials who spoke at the event stressed the importance of returning to that same spirit of humble repentance and reliance upon the Lord.

Several attendees from around the country who spoke to The Christian Post also expressed hope for spiritual renewal and a cultural shift in American society.

Here is a list of some of the event's most notable speakers, who highlighted the Christian heritage of the United States while calling on its people to return to their spiritual foundations for its 250th birthday.
