Living Buddha, Living Christ, Living Spirit—An Interfaith Prayer Service in the Style of Taizé

with No Comments

UPDATE: A video of the May 21, 2024, liturgy can be seen here and below.

TUESDAY, MAY 21, 2024, 7 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed

Join in person or online on Tuesday, May 21 at 7 p.m. for an Interfaith Prayer Service in the style of Taizé. We will be joined by friends from Clear Mountain Monastery Buddhist Community (which currently meets on the cathedral campus every Saturday morning) as we celebrate Living Buddha, Living Christ, Living Spirit, acknowledging two sacred feasts: Pentecost (May 19), celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit in the Christian calendar; and Vesak (May 23) celebrating the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and passing in the Buddhist calendar.

This special service meditates on values that both traditions hold as sacred, represented by the "fruit of the Spirit" in Galatians, and the perfections (parami) of character necessary in Buddhism to achieve enlightenment. The liturgy will include prayers and readings taken from Christian and Buddhist scriptures, as well as chants from the Buddhist and Christian traditions.

A video of the May 21 service and the April 28 Sunday preview forum providing a preview and background of this service can be seen below:

“What Is Intergenerational Ministry?”

with No Comments

WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2024, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)

The Cathedral Commons forum on Wednesday, May 14, will be an opportunity to focus on what it means for us as a church community to be intergenerational, and why that matters. Presenters will unpack the definitions of multi-generational, cross-generational, and intergenerational, and talk about why intergenerationality is one of three core mutual ministry goals at Saint Mark's. We'll look at some of where we've been as a cathedral community, and where we are heading! Intergenerationality isn't a program or an event, it's a culture, a way of being and doing church together. It's also important for us to name that while intergenerational is not code for children and families, ministry with children and youth is always intergenerational. The forum will be a chance to share some of the lessons learned at the hybrid workshop for ministry leaders on Thursday, May 9.

Author of Sober Spirituality, spiritual director and life coach, the Rev. Erin Jean Warde will guide this day retreat exploring spiritual healing in mind, body, and soul.

NOTE: Rev. Warde will also preach at Saint Mark's on Sunday, May 5, at the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Eucharists, and participate in a "Friends Talking" Forum with Dean Thomason in the 10 a.m. hour that same Sunday.

Then, on Sunday evening (following Choral Evensong) She will lead a discussion especially for 20s/30s on Sober Spirituality: Exploring a Mindful Relationship with Alcohol, 5:30–7 p.m. at Diocesan House. Learn more, submit a question in advance, and register (free) here.
