The Women's Compline Choir of Saint Mark's Cathedral: New Details
THIS SUNDAY, JULY 17 & NEXT SUNDAY, JULY 24, 9:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave, broadcast, or livestreamed
Since its debut in 2019, the Office of Compline has chanted by The Women's Compline Choir led by Rebekah Gilmore each year. However, the pandemic meant that the women's Compline services in 2020 were chanted by four solo voices, and that in 2021 the service remained closed to the public. Now at last in 2022, a full choir featuring some of the finest choral singers in the region will chant a service open to one and all. Join in person, via livestream, or via the KING-FM radio broadcast. Check out video and photos from previous years here.
As in the past, the services will feature special repertoire for women's voices, including world-premiere compositions. The service on July 17 will open with music from the 12th-century Codex Calixtinus, include the premiere of a setting of an American hymn by Kevin Siegfried. written especially for this choir, and conclude with an Ave Maria by up-and-coming composer B.E. Boykin (whose setting of John 3:16 was offered by the Cathedral Choir and Schola last Good Friday.)

Organ by Night after Compline
THIS SUNDAY, JULY 17, 10 P.M. (following Compline)
What might a 20th-century Nigerian, a 19th-century New Englander, an 18th-century Frenchman, and a 17th-century Dane have in common? They all composed music that Associate Organist John Stuntebeck will perform on the Flentrop Organ after Compline this Sunday, July 17, as part of Saint Mark’s monthly Organ by Night concerts. On every third Sunday of the month, organists offer 20 minutes of music on the mighty Flentrop organ, and encourage listeners to join them in the gallery to see and hear the organ and organist up close. They are also happy to answer questions about the music and the organ itself.

Episcopal Church Condemns Israel's Oppression of Palestinians on Eve of Biden's Visit
The Bishop's Committee on Justice and Peace in the Holy Land , a ministry of the Diocese of Olympia, has released the following announcement about developments at the just-concluded General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Baltimore. The first resolution mentioned in the statement is based on one that was adopted by the Diocese of Olympia at last fall's Diocesan Convention, authored by Bishop's Committee member Stacy Andersen. Read the complete text of the resolution here.
"The Episcopal Church voted July 10, 2022 at its triennial General Convention to endorse a resolution condemning Israel's occupation and oppression of Palestinians and urging the United States to take action to oppose Israeli laws and practices that result in unequal rights for two peoples.
"The Church also passed a resolution opposing the criminalization and penalization of boycott, divestment and sanctions movements as infringements of First Amendment rights. Approximately thirty states currently have laws limiting the ability of citizens to boycott Israel in protest of its practices.
"Growing concern among faith institutions mirrors the same in the secular world as human rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (and the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem) have recently concluded that Israel's treatment of Palestinians constitutes apartheid under international law. "
