Join us for a special Interfaith Prayer Liturgy in the style of Taizé, co-hosted by Saint Mark’s and our friends from Clear Mountain Monastery Buddhist Community (which meets on the cathedral campus every Saturday morning) The theme of the prayer service, Living Buddha, Living Christ, Living Spirit, celebrates the 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 group who planned the service was inspirited by Thich Nhat Hanh’s book Living Buddha, Living Christ.) Prayers, readings and chants from both the Christian and Buddhist traditions will highlight the service. (Note: we celebrated a similar liturgy last year in 2024; view the 2024 service and forum here).
An informational forum in preparation for this service will take place on Sunday, June 1, 2025 at 10:10 a.m. in Bloedel Hall.
