SUMMARY:Sunday Forum: West Bank Realities with Filmmaker David Wild
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, MARCH 1\, 10:10 A.M. in Bloedel Hall \nModerated by Dean Thomason \nThe Holy Land is complicated\, and peace seems so far off.

It was a surprising trip — I met remarkable people and was by myself at the Holy Sites. Being a filmmaker\, I had to make something\, and I came back with a message for my friends in the form of a 12-minute film. The trip inspired me and changed my life.” We will then have a conversation\, sharing our hopes and sorrows for the people who call this place home. All are welcome. \nNote: Dean Thomason is planning a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2027 if conditions on the ground allow\, and he will share more about that during the forum.

SUMMARY:Silence and Honey Cakes: Lessons from the Desert for Modern Communities
DESCRIPTION:A LENTEN QUIET MORNING \n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 21\, 2026\, 9 A.M.–12:30 P.M.\nin person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom\, registration required. \nwith the Rev. Sr. Miriam Elizabeth Bledsoe\, OSH \nFrom the beginning\, we were created for belonging and community. And yet\, community also comes with many challenges\, including the temptations of individualism\, conformity\, competition and power. How do we discern and nourish the truth of who we are and who our neighbor is? How do we manage the variations of gifts\, limitations\, calls and vocations within our communities while also nurturing the persons in those communities and in the margins? The desert mothers and fathers of the 3rd and 4th centuries understood that the heart of the Christian path was communion with God and with one another. They also knew the challenges of belonging and community. These ammas and abbas will be our teachers as we explore belonging\, loving\, and navigating the blessings and temptations that can manifest in community. \nFee $29 (includes sales tax now required by WA State). Registration is required for in-person or online participation (register to receive Zoom link).

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.)

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.
