Climate Conversation for November:
Celebrate Thanksgiving & Christmas with a Creation Care Mindset
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 6:30–7:30 P.M., online via Zoom
Thanksgiving and Christmas are wonderful times for getting together with family, meeting friends and celebrating a special season.

From shopping and traveling better to enjoying climate-friendly meals and travel, small changes we make can have a big impact. We’ll show how to care for creation better around the holidays and we’ll center discussion around actions participants take for climate-friendly holiday celebrations.

Men’s Retreat 2023—Speaking the Truth in Love: Finding the True Self’s Home Once More
FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NOON, NOVEMBER 10–12, 2023, at Camp Huston, Union, WA. Registration required. Capacity is limited to 30, first-come, first-served.
We hear a lot these days about patriarchy and the ways men are raised to behave in culturally-expected ways that are not life-giving. We are taught that communication forms along a binary of aggression or weakness, but there are healthier ways to speak our truth assertively. God is calling us to something else, to be someone else—to be our true selves while respecting the dignity of others. How we communicate matters.
This weekend retreat is designed to create the space for quiet reflection, time away from the burdens of daily life, spacious time in nature, conversations with other men of faith, and worship. It will be a time of spiritual reflection and renewal. Steve Thomason, Dean of Saint Mark’s Cathedral, will facilitate the weekend to which men of all ages are welcome. Find more information, including fees and registration link, here.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 12:30–2 P.M., in Cathedral House Room 210 or online via Zoom.
The Saint Mark's Book Group selection for November is Elif Shafak’s 2021 novel The Island of Missing Trees. sSet in late 20th century Cyprus through to present-day London, the book explores the physical, psychological, and moral cost of the long conflict between Turkish and Greek Cypriots on its citizens and on the environment. Shafak exhibits a passion for an endangered natural world that possesses wisdom the human world lacks. The novel is framed around London high school student Ada’s attempts to learn about her parents’ past on Cyprus and what drove them to emigrate. She is angry about their silence until she discovers the hardships, violence, betrayals, and impossible choices faced not only by her parents but by generations of Cypriots. Much of the novel is narrated by a fig tree that is central to the story and has seen everything. Shafak is an award-winning British-Turkish novelist whose works have been translated into 55 languages.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall only. Optional post-film discussion 8:15–8:30. Optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)
In 1974, a group of 11 women and their supporters organized their ordination to become Episcopal priests in an act of civil disobedience. This story is told in a compelling new documentary The Philadelphia Eleven. The 90-minute documentary film will be screened a the Wednesday evening forum on November 15. This film tells a story that echoes today as women continue this fight for the pulpit. It explores the lives of these remarkable women who succeeded in transforming an age-old institution when they took a stand despite the threats to their personal safety and the risk of rejection by the church they loved. These women are an inspiration for a generation of women in the ministry, and a clarion call for the entire Christian Church.

Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Support Saint Mark’s
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for individuals who are 70½ years or older to donate funds directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charity like Saint Mark’s Cathedral. It offers several advantages, including reducing your taxable income and meeting your required minimum distribution (RMD) obligations. Making a QCD can be a savvy way to support charitable causes in retirement while enjoying potential tax benefits, but it's essential to follow IRS rules to avoid penalties. Please consult with a tax advisor or financial professional to ensure compliance with current tax regulations.
