by on April 12, 2024 with No Comments

SUNDAY, APRIL 28, 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall

Come to Bloedel Hall between the 9 and 11 a.m. liturgies on April 28 for an informational forum in preparation for the Interfaith Taizé liturgy to be offered in the cathedral nave on the evening of Tuesday, May 21, a collaboration between the Saint Mark’s Cathedral Taizé Ministry and Clear Mountain Monastery Buddhist Community (the faith community which currently meets on the Saint Mark’s property on Saturday mornings). At this Sunday morning forum, the organizers of this special event will introduce the motivations behind this interfaith liturgy, and will walk through some elements of the service, including some of the chants, both Buddhist and Taizé. Bring your questions and curiosities, and leave better prepared to appreciate this unique offering next month.

UPDATE: A video of the forum is now available:

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

Chris Barnett is the Executive General Manager of Intergen, an Australian organization committed to resourcing and supporting ministry with children and their families, with an emphasis on intergenerationality. Chris brings to the intergenerational space a wealth of experience, a heart for connecting, and a commitment to facilitating learning together. More known as a curator, rather than creator, and sharer of resources, Chris has nevertheless contributed to a number of key intergenerational resources, including Intergenerate, Engage All Generations, Messy Discipleship, and Being an Intergenerational Church: A Commitment. A Vision. An Invitation.

Dr. Valerie M. Grissom serves as the Chair of the Intergenerate Team, whose mission is to bring the generations of the church together. As a worship leader and pastor for over 20 years, and now a certified candidate for ordination as Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Northwest Coast Presbytery (PC-USA), Valerie provides research, writing, speaking, coaching, and mentoring regarding intergenerational and intercultural worship. Valerie recently edited the book All Ages Becoming: Intergenerational Practice in the Formation of God's People.

Wendy Claire Barrie is Canon for Intergenerational Ministries at Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral, Seattle. She is the author of Faith at Home: A Handbook for Cautiously Christian Parents and is (still) finishing up her second book, The Church Post-Sunday School: How to Be Intergenerational and Why it Matters. Wendy has served eight Episcopal congregations on both coasts over the last 30-plus years, and is the creator of an intergenerational curriculum for the book Holy Troublemakers and Unconventional Saints by Daneen Akers.

Exploring Symbolism in Episcopal Worship

by on April 5, 2024 with No Comments

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in Bloedel Hall and the cathedral nave. The first portion of the presentation also available via Zoom; optional community dinner at 6 p.m.

UPDATED DESCRIPTION: The opening theological reflection and overview portion of the forum will be available online. The second half of the forum will be a hands on, interactive experience in the cathedral nave and will not be livestreamed. 

This forum will explore some of the colors, gestures, and symbols we use in liturgy throughout the church year. We often notice that some things stay the same across the year, and some things change. Let’s learn together about what those things are and why these things all come together to form our worship experiences. Do you have specific questions? ("Why do some people bow at the gospel reading?" "Why are the icons covered up sometimes?" "Why do they use tree branches to sprinkle us?").

UPDATE: A video is now available below:

Behind the Seams: Fashioning Gender with Clara Berg

by on March 28, 2024 with No Comments

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2–3 P.M., Museum of History and Industry, 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle 98109. Sign up required.

UPDATE 5/5: Saint Mark's discounted tickets are sold out but you may still be able to buy a general admissions ticket here for the 2 p.m. event.

Hosted by 20s/30s—All are welcome 

Pink for girls? Pants for boys? From color to cut, what we wear is infused with our era’s ideas about gender. Designers may emphasize “masculine” or “feminine” elements on a garment or create a “unisex” look, but the rules around what those words mean change over time. Join MOHAI Curator of Collections and Saint Mark's 20s/30s member Clara Berg for an intimate, in-person, one-hour session to view historic fashions in MOHAI’s collection which align with, deviate from, and expand our ideas about gendered clothing.

The Saint Mark's group will attend the session at 2 p.m.—some may choose to arrive early (1 p.m.) to visit the museum’s exhibits and/or join after (3:30 p.m.) for snacks and refreshments at a restaurant nearby the museum.

Tickets are required for Behind the Seams admission. A limited number of discounted tickets from Saint Mark’s are available ($20). Sign up here. Questions? Email Rose Hazard: pinuprose90@gmail.com

Pastoral Care Update

by on March 21, 2024 with No Comments

The cathedral clergy are available to parishioners in need of pastoral care, and the best way to contact a priest after hours for urgent concerns (e.g. emergency hospitalization, serious injury, etc.) is by calling or texting them on their personal cell phones. These numbers are readily available to all parishioners via the Parish Directory (accessible via a link in the upper right of the cathedral website) or the ChurchLife mobile app. If you have not yet installed this app on your phone, we encourage you to do so—it is a great resource. Erik Donner can assist you with downloading the app or can simply provide you with the priests’ numbers himself; email edonner@saintmarks.org or call 206.323.0300 ext. 217.

For non-urgent pastoral messages, call the church office and leave a voicemail message, either for one of the priests or in the general mailbox. You can also email prayer requests anytime to prayers@saintmarks.org.

Learn more about pastoral care here.
