On September 6, Ruth Mulligan and Richard Hartung will lead this month's Climate Conversation, when the topic will be What You Can Do About Carbon Tracking.

We will look specifically at the carbon tracker tool Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has encouraged the Episcopal Church to use at www.SustainIslandHome.org. We’ll discuss how the carbon tracker works, practical ways to use insights in the tracker to reduce your personal carbon emissions, and savings and benefits from the tracker. We’ll also share insights from people who use the tracker, discuss how to use it more effectively and look at opportunities to do more as a congregation.

Learn more here. Register to join using this link. Contact Richard Hartung with questions: richard@transcarta.com
Taizé Prayer

THIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 7 P.M.

Taizé prayer services began at Saint Mark's in April of 2022. Due to the positive response, cathedral leadership has decided to offer this service several times a year, on a seasonal basis. The next offering will be this coming Tuesday, September 6. Come experience this simple but profound style of liturgy, with its roots in the ecumenical Taizé community in France, that features scripture and silence, along with the unique meditative and participatory music that is the hallmark of Taizé. Learn more and see video from previous services here.

Regular Tuesday Centering Prayer

MOST TUESDAYS STARTING SEPTEMBER 13, 7 P.M., cathedral nave

Beginning on September 13, Centering Prayer will once again be offered on Tuesday evenings from 78 p.m. in the nave. Each week, following a 20 minute “sit”—time spent in silent prayer—there will be time for teaching, sharing, and conversation. This form of meditative prayer is open to anyone who yearns to simply sit in the presence of the Divine, no prior experience is necessary. (Centering Prayer will occasionally be cancelled due to Taizé services or other conflicts.) Phil Fox Rose will lead many of the sessions; he has been practicing and sharing Centering Prayer for over 30 years. If you have questions about Centering Prayer, please reach out to Phil: phil@philfoxrose.com
Wednesday Night Community Dinner Resumes September 14

One of the first cathedral offerings to be suspended in March of 2020 was the treasured community supper, offered most Wednesdays for several years as part of the regular Wednesday night suite of offerings. Now at last we are able to gather for this shared meal once again, created by the team led by Chef Marc Aubertin.

Wednesday evening offerings begin with in-person Evening Prayer in Thomsen Chapel at 6 p.m. Dinner is served in Bloedel Hall from 6 to 6:30 p.m. (Health regulations require that food service ends promptly at 6:30.) A faith formation offering or other community activity usually follows at 6:45. For the first dinner, on Wednesday, September 14, there will be no Cathedral Commons offering—they begin one week later with Dean Thomason's presentation on embodied spirituality on September 21 (see bel0w)—but the dinner will have all its usual energy provided by the kids of the Choir School, whose rehearsals are immediately before or after the meal. The cost of the meal, payable in cash at the door or electronically, is now: Child/$6, Adult/$8, Family max/$25.

Note: One beloved element of the Wednesday community meal that will sadly not be resuming are Jim Green's delicious salads. For several years he personally made the salad for the dinner each week. Jim died in May of 2021, and the UW Department of Anthropology recently published this moving remembrance.
Conversations about Gratitude:
Week 2—Experience

The Saint Mark’s Stewardship Committee continues its five-part Gratitude Conversations with a focus how we experience gratitude and what we do with that experience.

Franciscan Father Richard Rohr talked in May 2020 about our need for a new vision when he wrote:

G. K. Chesterton spoke of the “mystical minimum” which he defined as gratitude. When we stand in the immense abundance of the True Self, there is no time or space for being hurt. We are always secure, at rest, and foundationally grateful. The grateful response for what is given—seeing the cup half full—requires seeing with a completely different set of eyes than the eyes that always see the cup as half empty. I don’t think it is an oversimplification to say that people basically live either in an overall attitude of gratitude or an overall attitude of resentment. The mystical minimum is gratitude. Everything that is given—that we are breathing today—is pure gift. None of us have earned it. None of us have a right to it. All we can do is kneel and kiss the ground—somewhere, anywhere, everywhere. 

Several questions immediately rush into our consciousness. Does Rohr’s view or that of G.K. Chesterton resonate with you? How does a sense of thankfulness come upon you? Does it come to you slowly and quietly, or with a burst of speed, clarity, and whistles and bells?

What you do when gratitude fills your heart, mind, or soul? Do you rest quietly, “kiss the ground,” or rush to “go tell it on the mountain?” 

You are encouraged to write your response to these questions—a brief thought, a personal anecdote, a longer reflection, or even a poem. Either write your response in the comments at the bottom of this page, or send an email to stewardship@saintmarks.org. (Note that the first time you leave a comment, it will be held in moderation before appearing.) Thank you for participating in this ongoing conversation.

Saint Mark's Book Group is reading My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song (2022) Emily Bingham.

Peter Boome's Birds of a Feather Now in Its Permanent Home in Bloedel Hall

If you attend church this Sunday, whether in person or via livestream, you will notice that Peter Boome's large canvas is no longer on display in Compline Corner. Fear not! It has been moved to its new and more permanent home in Bloedel Hall. This location was proposed by members of the Visual Arts Ministry, and the painting takes on a more monumental quality when placed high up on the wall in a smaller space. The work's message of solidarity within diversity is appropriate for the parish hall, the place where so many people come together in fellowship and community. Many thanks to the community members who contributed to the acquisition of this meaningful addition to the cathedral's collection.
