The Death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy

Mourning a Visionary Leader

Senator Kennedy

Wednesday, August 26

The Washington National Cathedral community sends its deep condolences to the Kennedy family at the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. We share with the nation in the profound loss of this great and visionary leader who was unwavering in his commitment to justice and equality for all Americans. He gave his life’s work to what matters most in a fair, compassionate, and inclusive society. In a nation that calls itself religious, Senator Kennedy modeled what caring for our brothers and sisters and understanding our human interconnectedness are all about.
