2025 Alternative Gift Market!

with No Comments

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 10 A.M.–1 P.M. (after the 9 and 11 a.m. services), in Bloedel Hall. Sign up to volunteer here.

You won’t want to miss this year’s Alternative Gift Market on Sunday, November 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Bloedel Hall. This year's market will include unique handmade items you won’t find anywhere else, a bake sale with delicious treats, opportunities to donate to meaningful causes, and more.

This event benefits our community partner organizations: Lowell Elementary School, Casa Latina, Mary’s Place, Lambert House, Operation Nightwatch/Donna Jean’s Place, Seattle Seafarers Center, L’Arche Seattle, and the Threshold Fund.

  • One-of-a-kind handmade items from Saint Mark’s ministries handmade items Quilt Ministry, the Ministry of Worsted Wool, and our neighbors at the Seattle Weavers' Guild
  • Dried flower creations from the Flower Ministry
  • Holy Honey from our hives, homemade cranberry sauce and elderberry syrup
  • Hot cider, cocoa, coffee, tea, and baked goods, hot soup and fresh rolls available for shoppers
  • Donation certificates to include in your Christmas cards to family and loved ones, indicating that you have given a donation to one of our community partner organizations in their honor, as a meaningful alternative to the consumer frenzy
  • 2025 Giving Tree

Sign up to support this great community event here—volunteers are needed to help set up the space on Friday and Saturday, or helping out during the market itself or helping to clean up on Sunday.

Another way to give at the Alternative Gift Market is to bring something new and unopened that our community partner organizations need:

  • Operation Nightwatch is collecting men's socks
  • Saint Mark's is filling Christmas stockings for Donna Jean's Place (the women's shelter on the cathedral campus) tinted lip gloss, nail polish, and purse-sized hand lotion
  • Mission to Seafarers needs full-sized toiletries: shampoo, body wash, bar of soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and shaving cream

TERRA EXHIBIT: A Monumental Installation in the Cathedral Nave

with 5 Comments

ON VIEW MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3 through SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, in the cathedral nave. (The cathedral building is open 12–5 P.M., MONDAY–FRIDAY during the exhibit.)

OFFICIAL LAUNCH EVENT: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 5–10 P.M. Free, but registration required.

For three weeks in November, a 24-foot museum-grade Earth globe will be suspended from the central beam in the cathedral nave. This awe-inspiring exhibit is co-produced by Revival Gatherings and Orbis Globes, in collaboration with Saint Mark's.

The power of the TERRA Exhibition is in opportunity to experience the “overview effect,” a profound shift in human consciousness previously only made possible by viewing the earth from outer space. When Commander Frank Borman first glimpsed the blue-green marble from Apollo 8, he exclaimed, “This must be what God sees.”

Every weekday during the period when the globe is on display, the cathedral will be open and accessible to the public from 12–5 p.m., and it will form a moving backdrop to weekly offerings—like Cathedral Yoga, Contemplative Prayer, and Sunday services including Compline—as well as special events like the United We Stand Prayer Vigil (Wednesday, November 5, 7 p.m.) a Creation-themed Taizé litrugy (Tuesday, November 11, 7 p.m.) and the Skyros Quartet concert (Sunday, November 23, 3 p.m.).

In addition, there will be events specifically tied to the exhibit: a presentation and community resource fair organized by Saint Mark's Creation Care Ministry and Visual Arts Ministry on November 14 titled Thin Places: Climate Change and Seeing Earth Whole (Friday, November 14, 7:30 p.m), and a five-hour "ritual concert experience" titled THE CIRCLE: Bridging Culture Through Song & Story organized by the producers of the Terra Exhibit itself (Saturday, November 22, 5:45–11 p.m.)


Debut event

The official TERRA debut evening on Friday, November 7, begins at 5 p.m. with an informal reception and refreshments, and continues with introductory remarks at 6:30, collective & participatory music-making at 7 p.m., and a sound bath at 9:30 p.m. This event is free, but attendance is limited, so registration is required. Register here.

United We Stand: An Interreligious Prayer Vigil in Troubled Times

with 4 Comments
Click the image above to download the flyer (pdf).

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 7–8 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed

In this time of trial and struggle, as we confront challenges to our civil society and our body politic, we are at a crossroads of conscience. And though the voices of vitriol and extremism often resound loudly, it is the judicious wisdom of resilient and courageous peacemakers who will lead us through this crisis. Prayerful reflection stands as a hopeful response to the static of cynicism.

Join local religious leaders and fellow citizens who will gather in Seattle’s Saint Mark’s Cathedral at this critical juncture of our nation’s history. In times of crisis, we come together. All are invited to join in this brief non-partisan interfaith service of hope, either in-person or via livestream. We ask you to embrace this moment of contemplation and connection, as we affirm the principles that transcend our differences, and the common cause that will bind the wounds of this great nation.

Event co-sponsored by: Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral, the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia, the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle, St. James Catholic Cathedral, Temple De Hirsch Sinai, First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Seattle, and the Center for Ecumenical and Interreligious Engagement at Seattle University

with No Comments

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1–4:30 P.M., Bloedel Hall 

Let's gather in Bloedel Hall as a cathedral community for an afternoon of creativity! Bring your own craft project to work on or join in one of several activity stations making items to be sold at the Alternative Gift Market to benefit the Threshold Fund. Members of the Quilt Ministry will be on hand for quilt tying and nine-patch designing, we’ll make cranberry sauce and rosemary nuts, craft simple Christmas ornaments, pour or roll candles, and repot some small plants. Have an idea of something else we should make? Email Canon Barrie: wbarrie@saintmarks.org

A Special Opportunity. Toward the conclusion of Crafternoon,  from 3:30 to 4 :30 p.m., we’ll go to the nave for a private introduction to the TERRA Exhibit and an intergenerational song circle. TERRA Production lead Ben Browner will orient us to the purpose of the exhibit. Then, our own Elizabeth Antley will lead us in songs about creation, connection, and peace as we gather around the globe.

Depolarizing Ourselves Introductory Workshop: A First Step Toward Civil Engagement

with 1 Comment

A Forum with Braver Angels

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 7–8:30 P.M., in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom

NOTE UPDATED TIME!*

Register here to attend in person in Bloedel Hall*

Register here to participate online via Zoom

Capacity for the in-person event is strictly limited. If you register, but your plans change and you can no longer attend in person, please email Erik Donner in the cathedral office at edonner@saintmarks.org to cancel your reservation. You may register to participate online via Zoom at any time up to the day of the event.

*PLEASE NOTE: Both in-person Evening Prayer and Community Dinner will be offered as usual this Wednesday, at 5:30 and 6 p.m., respectively. As always, food service will end promptly at 6:30. To allow time to re-arrange Bloedel Hall, the forum itself will begin at 7 p.m. and continue until 8:30 p.m. (slightly later than a normal Cathedral Commons offering).


Civil discourse requires mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization.

What is the Depolarizing Ourselves Introductory Workshop?

The Depolarizing Ourselves Introductory Workshop is designed to help you lessen the effects of polarization when you encounter them in your political conversations. Note that by “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are talking about how we regard and talk about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of our own politics as if they were enemies.

This is a group session that is approximately 1.5 hours long. It is led by a volunteer Braver Angels Facilitator. Braver Angels is a non-religious organization that develops educational tools to build bridges between people divided over politics. We also partner with religious and other groups who use our tools in the context of their own traditions.

Goals

To teach participants:

  • How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”.
  • How to interact without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population.

In our current political climate, much of our conflict stems not from healthy disagreement over policies, issues, or philosophy. Instead, it’s created by the often emotional, rancor-escalating, and highly polarizing conversations that we typically have with others. Braver Angels has created our Depolarizing Ourselves Workshop to help you reframe how you view the other side in the face of disagreements around politics. Successfully ‘taming’ our inner polarizer starts with recognizing our tendencies around harmful generalizations about the other side. This requires acknowledging how we often attribute negative intent and motivations to the other side without first trying to understand them.

*NOTE: Capacity for the in-person event is strictly limited. If you register, but your plans change and you can no longer attend in person, please email Erik Donner in the cathedral office at edonner@saintmarks.org to cancel your reservation.
