Struggling to cover its costs, Washington National Cathedral has decided to begin charging an admission fee for tourists who visit the church beginning in 2014. Cathedral officials say they will charge a $10 fee for adults and $6 for children, seniors and military. Admission will be free on Sundays and for those who visit to worship or pray on weekdays.
