Hartford Seminary Professor Ingrid Mattson offered one of the prayers at the National Prayer Service on Wednesday January 21st. The National Prayer Service was held at the National Cathedral at the conclusion of the inaugural activities. Mattson is Director of the Seminary's Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations and leads the Seminary's Islamic Chaplaincy Program.

She is a leading voice in the American Muslim community and the President of the Islamic Society of North America. Her participation was announced in a news release issued by the Presidential Inauguration.

In her prayer, Mattson said:

"On this day of new beginnings, with hearts lifted high in hope, may we be a people at peace among ourselves and a blessing to other nations. We pray to you, O God, saying
Keep this nation under your care.
And guide us in the way of justice and truth."
