SUNDAY MORNING FORUM
A Crash Course on Non-Violence
THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall
In this forum on MLK Weekend, we'll take a brief look at the fascinating history of non-violence with a special emphasis on the legacy of Bayard Rustin, a student of Mohandus (Mahatma) Gandhi, who brought back his learnings to the leaders of the American Civil Rights movement. A Black gay man and a Quaker, Rustin became a trusted advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr, and was the organizer of the March on Washington. While the principles of non-violence deserve much more time than this forum allows, Canon Barrie will provide resources for further exploration, including the pledge of non-violence and the invitation to a participate in the annual Season for Non-Violence.

An Afternoon of Service on Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Weekend—Registration Now Open
THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 12:30 P.M., Bloedel Hall, registration requested. Lunch is provided.
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" —The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On the Sunday of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, people all ages and abilities are invited to gather at the cathedral in the afternoon for a variety of projects in the service of our community partners. There will be activities in service of Operation Nightwatch/Donna Jean's Place Shelter, L'Arche Seattle, and Lowell Elementary School. Some of the activities will be seated, while others will be more active—you can indicate your preference when you register.
UPDATED DETAILS: We’ll start with lunch. Some participants will assemble welcome baskets for the first residents of Donna Jean's Place—making an inventory of received items, filling shower caddies with toiletries, and creating handmade cards. Others can work on crafting a wooden sign for our neighbors Lowell Elementary School (Home of the Lowell Dragons!).
Some new friends from L’Arche Seattle will join in these projects. A team from Saint Mark's will travel after lunch to L'Arche Seattle's Angeline House near Volunteer Park to help with trimming back some shrubs and breaking up larger branches that have already fallen or been trimmed, raking, and taking down a large outdoor canopy. Please bring your own work gloves!
Depending on the number of volunteers who sign up, additional projects may be added. Register using this link.

Icon Installation in the Nave
The Visual Arts Ministry is presenting an exhibition of a selection of sacred icons by Peter Pearson to coincide with Fr. Pearson's residency at Saint Mark's the week of February 12 (see below). Eventually there will be 18 in total, all in Compline Corner. Each of these are painted with acrylic paint on wooden panels using traditional Byzantine methods and are varnished to protect the surface. At this time three icons are on display—Christ the Gardener, Christ, the Teacher, and Christ, the Bridegroom—the remainder will be hung in the coming days. Watch for more information next week.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2025, 6:45–8:15 P.M., Bloedel Hall and via Zoom
What does theology have to say about environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change? Ecotheology is a form of constructive theology that focuses on the interrelationship between religion and nature, particularly in the light of environmental concerns. In this session, we will explore classical theological notions of Creation, our neglect of these concepts in Western Christianity, and their restoration in the Triune God of love. This presentation will be given by The Rev. Canon Rich Weyls, Canon for Community Life and Senior Associate Rector. Canon Rich is also the staff support person for Saint Mark's Creation Care Ministry.

Climate Conversation for February: How to Stay Warm, Use Less Energy and Save Money
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 6:30–7:30 P.M., via Zoom

CATHEDRAL COMMONS

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 6:45–8:15 P.M., Bloedel Hall and via Zoom
What can a revolutionary 12th-century Benedictine nun teach us today? Plenty! Saint Hildegard von Bingen was a polymath and a German Benedictine abbess who lived from 1098–1179 in the Rhine Valley.

You are invited to learn more about St. Hildegard and her fascinating life, focusing on her holistic approach to mental health, through an interactive presentation with the Rev.

A two-part Cathedral Commons forum led by Dean Steve Thomason
Our world is seemingly on fire, and the uncertainties of our time translate to a sense of chaos and upheaval. Anxiety and anger run amok. Under threat of change, the human impulse is to conservative inertia or even regression, which invariably leads to injustice and oppression. We are seeing that; we are living in this crucible moment when the paradigms that have historically made sense in the social fabric will not hold, and tweaks to them will not suffice. Paradigm shifts (revolutionary insights) are needed as we find our way. We are on the cusp of something as significant as Newtonian cosmology or modern Cognitive Psychology, but we will only breakthrough to new paradigms if we let go of the basic assumptions of the prevailing theories of social constructs built on a misguided transactional calculus. Hint: Jesus was on to something big!

These gifts will be used to furnish the shelter and help with operational support—which will cost about $1000 per woman per month. If you’ve not yet had a chance to give and would like to, you can do so here. (Select "New Emergency Women's Shelter" from the list of options.) Thank you!

Volunteer Opportunities
At this time there is a particular need for volunteers interested in operating the cameras for livestreamed liturgies in the nave and/or hybrid events in Bloedel Hall. Prior experience is not required, although an interest in video production is helpful. The job requires quick thinking and can be stressful, but it's also creative and fun. Contact Greg Bloch to learn more: gbloch@saintmarks.org
There is also a need for Compline Hospitality Ministers, volunteers who are a friendly face and welcoming presence for all those attending Compline each Sunday night. (This position is called "Hospitality Minister" because it combines the distinct roles of Usher and Greeter into one.) This role is simple but important—for many people, Compline is the first time they have come through the cathedral's doors, so you may be the first cathedral community member they will ever encounter. This role is open to all, and is a particularly good opportunity for couples to volunteer together. Ministers serve once a month or less. Contact Michael Seewer to learn more: mseewer@saintmarks.org

Episcopal Relief & Development Update on Southern California Wildfires
January 14, 2025
Episcopal Relief & Development is actively supporting diocesan leaders in communities impacted by the Southern California wildfires and working with them to identify the needs of the people in their communities that have been severely affected. Here are some recent updates as the event continues to unfold:
- At least 24 people have died from the fires and 180,000 have been displaced.
- The winds have made the fires hard to contain and predict.
- A new fire, the Auto Fire, ignited late Monday. It is now fully contained.
- Episcopal Relief & Development has been providing spiritual support, technical resources and guidance to clergy and lay leaders who have been impacted by the fires.
- Episcopal Relief & Development is working with community leaders to plan and implement emergency, mid- and long-term responses.
This is an active disaster. All are reminded not to send goods or to make plans to travel to the area to volunteer until the community is ready. Instead, consider making a contribution to the Wildfire Response Fund to support people in impacted communities now and in the long-term.
Please pray for the people being affected by the multiple wildfires in California; visit the Wildfire Prayer Experience page.
