(NewsNation) — After being sworn in on Monday, President Donald Trump marked his first full day in office with a prayer service at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday morning. Leaders from nearly a dozen different religions were on hand for the service, which has been a post-inaugural tradition since former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office. "In this special service, the Cathedral will gather with our interfaith and ecumenical partners to offer prayers of thanksgiving for our democracy and to seek God’s guidance in the years ahead," the National Cathedral’s website noted ahead of the service. Due to safety concerns, the service was closed to the public. A wide range of religions were represented in the interfaith inaugural prayer service, including leaders from Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Here are all executive orders Trump signed on Day 1 Notably absent from the invited clergy with speaking roles were conservative evangelicals, who are among Trump’s strongest supporters. Some of those evangelical supporters were still in the pews. In attendance were Robert Jeffress, a longtime Trump supporter and pastor of Dallas’ First Baptist Church; Paula White-Cain, a televangelist and key spiritual advisor during Trump’s first term, and Lorenzo Sewell, the pastor of Detroit’s 180 Church who gave a spirited benediction at Monday’s inauguration. The service is meant to be a way to push past the divisiveness of the 2024 election, staffers say, and the political jabs on the campaign trail. It's a message the president tried to convey at the Commander in Chief Ball on Monday evening when speaking to the troops. "Your bravery inspires us. Your service unites us, and your sacrifice and spirit protect us all," Trump said. "We love you, we respect you so much, and we have a big commitment to each and every one of you. Starting today, America will be stronger and greater than it's ever been before." Staffers say this year's prayer service is different from those held in the past, as it was not planned with a particular candidate in mind. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
