A Celebration of Pauli Murray: The First Queer Saint in The Episcopal Church

TAIZÉ PRAYER LITURGY: SUNDAY, JULY 2, 4:30 pm, in the cathedral nave and live-streamed.

A special Taizé Prayer liturgy will be offered at Saint Mark’s, including readings and prayers by Pauli Murray and specially chosen music, sponsored by the Saint Mark’s Queer in Christ ministry. A Queer in Christ Meet & Greet will follow the liturgy in the southeast corner of the nave. Taizé prayer services are comprised of silence and song, candlelight and stillness, prayer and contemplation. The music is unique and distinctive. Taizé chants featuring deceptively simple refrains that are repeated, mantra-like, by the whole congregation, while instrumental and vocal soloists occasionally add verses on top of the repeated refrains. The music is accessible, participatory, and meditative. Contact Michael Seewer to learn more: mseewer@saintmarks.org.
