SUMMARY:Wilderness Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, JANUARY 10\, 2025\, 9 A.M.–12:30 P.M.\n \nwith The Rt. Rev. Phil LaBelle\, Bishop of Olympia \nFor centuries\, Christians have been following Jesus’ lead and heading into the wilderness to find God. Wilderness experiences—both those intentionally taken in the natural world and those unplanned and taken metaphorically —strip away what’s unnecessary in our lives and give us an opportunity to pay attention to the inner workings of the soul. Belden Lane suggests that while there are times when we descend into difficult times in our lives\, it is then that we “may discover our greatest joy in having survived the night\, in finding resources we did not know we had\, falling back on a strength that was more than ours.” During this day\, we’ll discuss the realities of being in the wilderness—whether a hiking trail or a difficult season of life—and contemplate how to prepare for those times with spiritual practice\, discovering how we can cross the threshold from a time of descent to one of delight. \n📃 Watch the recording and download the slides of this offering.

SUMMARY:Cathedral Commons—Letters from Prison
DESCRIPTION:WEDNESDAY\, JANUARY 14\, 2026\, 6:45–8:15 P.M.\, in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom.\n \nLetters from Prison—St. Paul\, Bonhoeffer\, and King\n \nFACILITATED BY DEAN STEVE THOMASON \nSt. Paul wrote at least four of his New Testament letters while in prison. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a prolific writer in the concentration camps of WWII\, and Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is considered by many to make the compelling case for civil rights. Something about the crucible of confinement prompts prophetic figures to write more prolifically. There are themes that run through all three writers’ reflections\, and they offer theological riches worth mining in our own time\, in a world beset by chaos and suffering. Dean Thomason will guide an exploration of the points of convergence. No preparation is needed to participate fully\, but if you want to read some samples in advance\, read Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (esp ch. 2-4)\, any of Bonhoeffer’s writings compiled posthumously by his friend Eberhard Bethge\, excerpted here\, and/or King’s Letter. \n🔗 Zoom link for virtual participation \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)
