Vigil at the Altar of Repose, 2025

by on April 2, 2025 with No Comments

MAUNDY THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 9 P.M. until dawn on Good Friday. Advance registration required.

The Vigil at the Altar of Repose will happen this year, starting upon the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday liturgy (around 8:45 p.m.) until the following sunrise. This ancient practice is inspired by Jesus' question to his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemene, "Could you not stay awake with me one hour?"  As in recent years, this vigil will be an online offering, with a live video available all night.

In addition, there is the opportunity to participate in the vigil in person. The length of the vigil depends on those who volunteer: for security, doors are locked, and each participant opens the door for the next at the beginning of each hour. (On the night of the event itself, if any participant arrives late and the chain is broken, the vigil concludes at that point.)

If you are interested in spending an hour in prayer, please sign up for a slot here no later than Palm Sunday, April 13. After that date, the specifics will be determined based on which slots have been filled, and participants will be notified. Please do NOT plan on participating without signing up in advance.

Becoming a Poverty Abolitionist

by on March 20, 2025 with No Comments

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Free, no registration required. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)

“If America’s poor founded a country, that country would have a bigger population than Australia or Venezuela.”

—Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

Why is there so much poverty in the richest country on earth? Can poverty be abolished? Participants in the recent Community Book Studies of Matthew Desmond’s, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City and Poverty, by America invite you to join this conversation at a Cathedral Commons on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Whether you have read one or both of these books is NOT a requirement to attend. We come together to consider our role in economic justice and to ask, What am I willing to change about how I live to abolish poverty?

Watch the Zoom recording below, download the slide presentation here, and find the YouTube video of Matthew Desmond here.

The Questions Easter Asks Us: A Palm Saturday Event for All Ages

by on February 28, 2025 with 4 Comments

SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 4 P.M., in the cathedral nave

Canon Emily Griffin and pianist David Poortinga will lead us using art, story, and song through the life of Jesus as we prepare to enter Holy Week.

The Godly Play story usually shared over the weeks of Lent, The Faces of Easter, will be told in large scale, and familiar hymns and tunes will be woven throughout with opportunities to sing, wonder, and pray together as we reflect on the journey to the cross and the mystery of the Resurrection.

Generosity as Resistance: Living the Call to Radical Hospitality in Challenging Times

by on February 27, 2025 with No Comments

TWO WEDNESDAYS IN LENT, MARCH 19 & 26, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Free, no registration required. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)

“From anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again” (Luke 6:29b–30).

Jesus proclaimed a message of extravagant generosity—a generosity responsive to God’s overwhelming generosity to us as the one who creates, sustains, and redeems us. But today there are voices in our nation and in the Christian Church who seek to restrict generosity to those deemed “worthy.” How are we to live out Jesus’ call in these times? How do we develop a counterculture of abundance in the face of a culture that operates out of scarcity? Join us on March 19 and 26 to reflect together on these questions. Led by Peter Snyder, James Davidson, and Greg Simon.

Pádraig Ó Tuama: The Better Angels of Our Nature

by on February 25, 2025 with No Comments

A Thursday evening Wisdom School event with acclaimed poet and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama

THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2025, 7–8:30 P.M., in person in the cathedral nave and livestreamed

UPDATE: Due to the number of registrations, this event will be offered in the cathedral nave rather than Bloedel Hall. A livestream will be available to registrants as announced previously. 

UPDATED DESCRIPTION: We live in fraught times when violence seems to be the common denominator in a calculus based in mistrust and misanthropic othering. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind… Drawing on inspiration from his work with language and religion, conflict and peacemaking, this truth-teller of our time will draw us into an orbit of soulful wisdom and poetic grace.

Fee: $15 (for in-person and livestream participation). A recording of the livestream will be available to those who register for a limited time after the event. 

Register below or using this link.

Advance registration is now closed. You can present and pay at the door on Thursday still.

About Pádraig Ó Tuama

Pádraig Ó Tuama (b. 1975, Ireland) is a poet with interests in language, violence, power, and religion. He is the host of On Being’s Poetry Unbound and has published volumes of poetry, essays, a memoir and theology. He has two books forthcoming in early 2025: Kitchen Hymns, a volume of original poems (CHEERIO and Copper Canyon Press), and the anthology 44 Poems on Being with Each Other; A Poetry Unbound Collection (Canongate and WW Norton).
