SUMMARY:Silence and Honey Cakes: Lessons from the Desert for Modern Communities
DESCRIPTION:February 21\, 8:30 am \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. \nSuggested donation: $25. Registration is required for in-person or online participation (register to receive Zoom link).

SUMMARY:Baroque Brilliance: Bach & Handel
DESCRIPTION:March 14\, 8:00 pm \n  \nOn March 14\, the Seattle Choral Company presents Baroque Brilliance\, an exhilarating evening of sacred music by two giants of the Baroque era: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. \nThis concert pairs two remarkable works that reveal the composers’ contrasting yet complementary voices. Bach’s Mass in G minor\, BWV 235\, written in Leipzig in the 1730s\, is a deeply reflective work of spiritual beauty. Drawing on earlier cantatas\, Bach shapes intricate counterpoint and luminous choral writing into a refined and intimate expression of faith. \nIn striking contrast\, Handel’s Dixit Dominus\, HWV 232\, composed in Rome in 1707\, brims with youthful energy and dramatic flair. This virtuosic setting of Psalm 110 showcases Handel’s early mastery of the Italian Baroque style\, bursting with bold rhythms and exuberant choral writing. \nTogether\, these masterworks offer a vivid portrait of Baroque sacred music at its most brilliant—intimate and majestic\, disciplined and dazzling. \nAdding more artistry to this concert event is an exceptional roster of guest artists: sopranos Natalie Ingrisano and Maria Männistö\, countertenor José Luis Muñoz\, tenor Stephen Rumph\, baritone Charles Robert Stephens\, and the acclaimed North Corner Chamber Orchestra.

SUMMARY:The Traveler and the Bishop on the State of America's Democracy and Christian Nationalism
DESCRIPTION:April 26\, 6:00 pm \nFree Event\, Registration Required \nJoin Rick Steves for a European take on Trump and American democracy (basically his “No Kings” rally speech\, updated and with an indoor voice). Then\, Lutheran Bishop Shelley Bryan Wee (ELCA) will share a hard look (inspired by scripture) at the perversion of Christianity called “Christian Nationalism.” Rick’s talk will share how history is speaking to us — and how\, if we listen\, we can better understand and meet the challenges facing democracy in the USA. And\, whether you consider yourself a person of faith or not\, Bishop Shelley’s message will bring a new dimension to your thinking about the place of religion in the political discourse of our country.

SUMMARY:Chariot Jubilee
DESCRIPTION:June 6\, 8:00 pm \nThe Seattle Choral Company – an Artist-In-residence at Saint Mark’s Cathedral – presents an inspiring evening of music that celebrates faith\, heritage\, and the power of the human spirit. This unique concert brings together four deeply moving works by composers from different backgrounds\, each offering a fresh and personal take on sacred music. \nNathaniel Dett’s The Chariot Jubilee combines classical music with the rich tradition of African American spirituals\, creating a powerful tribute to freedom and hope. Steve Dobrogosz’s Mass brings the Latin Mass to life with striking jazz harmonies\, making something traditional feel new and heartfelt. In Three Dunbar Hymns\, Adolphus Hailstork sets the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar to music that is both soulful and dignified\, honoring the voice of one of America’s great Black poets. Reena Esmail’s The Love of Thousands blends Western choral music with the sounds of Indian classical music in a glowing tribute to ancestry\, memory\, and the quiet strength passed down through generations of women. \nTogether\, these pieces create a vibrant\, heartfelt journey through sacred music as seen—and heard—through today’s diverse and deeply human voices.

SUMMARY:Following in the Footsteps of Paul: A Pilgrimage to Greece and Turkey
DESCRIPTION:October 8–19\, 2026\nEarly registration discount ends: December 31\, 2025\nRegistration closes: April 1\, 2026\nFull payment due: July 1\, 2026 \n$5\,999 Registration per Person (Double Occupancy until 12/31/25)\n$6\,149 Registration per Person (Double Occupancy from 1/1/26)\n$1\,500 Single Supplement (Limited Availability) \nLeader: The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason \nGreece has often been called the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of Western Civilization. It\, together with Turkey\, is also the earliest home of Christianity outside of the Palestine/Israel. Led by The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason and local archaeological guides on the ground\, this 12-day pilgrimage traces the footsteps of Paul in Greece and Turkey as he engaged the early Christian communities there. Our journey will take us to the well-preserved ruins of Athens\, Corinth\, Philippi\, and Thessaloniki in Greece. Along the way\, you’ll marvel at the byzantine monasteries perched on the cliffs of Meteora. In Turkey\, we’ll visit Smyrna and Pergamum\, two of the churches to whom Revelation was written to encourage them during troubled times. On our last full day we’ll explore Ephesus\, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Letter to the Ephesians is a remarkable witness to Paul’s courage and encouragement to the beleaguered Church. Note: Our schedule may be adjusted based on guide availability. \nFull details\, including pilgrimage brochure\, can be found at saintmarks.org/learn/wisdom-school/pilgrimages/
