From The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette-
A prominent Episcopal priest from Pittsburgh will offer the opening prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives tomorrow at 10 a.m.
The Rev. George Werner, dean emeritus of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Downtown, and a longtime leader in the national Episcopal Church, will offer a nonpartisan prayer asking God to "strengthen our vision and courage to do what is right." He has been an activist on health care and will speak the day after President Barack Obama addresses Congress on the topic, but said that the prayer will avoid all specific legislative issues.
U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire, D-McCandless, invited the Rev. Werner to offer the prayer. It will be broadcast live on C-SPAN, and the text will then be posted at www.episcopalpgh.org.
