Wednesday's Religious Activity At Democratic Convention

Religion Clause each day has been reporting on religious events that have been part of the Democratic National Convention. At the Convention on Wednesday (full schedule), the invocation was given by Archbishop Demetrios, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America. His invocation (full text) was less sectarian than those offered on prior days. The closing benediction was given by Sister Catherine Pinkerton, Congregation of St. Joseph’s in Cleveland, Ohio.
