Beware of Phishing Email Scams
There have been a few phishing scams in recent weeks posing as Dean Thomason asking for assistance by sending money, gift cards, etc. We apologize for the hassle these present, but they are prevalent scams for churches precisely because of the generous impulses church-goers have. Please know that Dean Thomason will never send emails of this sort, and a quick look at the email address from which is sent will identify it as being bogus. If you ever have suspicion or concern, just call the church office or email Dean Thomason to confirm its veracity, or simply delete the phishy email.

A Spirituality of Place: The Pilgrim’s Journey and Finding Home
The Wisdom School 2023/24 Program Year Opening Plenary Presentation, Led by Dean Steve Thomason
TWO WEDNESDAYS, SEPTEMBER 20 & 27, 2023, 6:45–8:15 P.M. in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom.
Place matters. It is the locus of spiritual purpose, whether at home, on the pilgrim’s way, or in the wilderness. It is the locus of belonging, of grounding, of meaning. The mystics remind us to “look deeply and discover God there.” The geography of the heart is shaped by the land and the ties that bind us to particular places, especially when we come to see it all as holy ground. This two-part series will explore the spirituality of place, pilgrimage and finding home, with spiritual practices that serve as maps for the journey.
Program is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.) All are welcome. Register to attend via Zoom. (No advance registration needed for in-person participation.)

Paul Benz, who was ordained in the ELCA church, and The Rev. Michael Cox, who was ordained in the Assemblies of God and transferring to the Disciples of Christ. Both individuals work as Street Ministers with Operation Nightwatch, a Christian nonprofit working to bring the power of chaplaincy and presence to those living and sleeping on the streets of Seattle. Read more here.
Dessert will be provided. At 9:15, we'll head over to Compline together. Questions? Email Molly at: molly.bosch@outlook.com

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 12:30–2 P.M., in Room 210 or online via Zoom
For their September gathering, participants of the Saint Mark's Second Sunday Book Group have selected Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism—and What Comes Next (2023) by Bradley Onishi. Onishi, who once served as a youth minister in a mega-white evangelical church, writes about White Christian Nationalism (WCN) as someone once on the inside. He focuses on the latter half of the twentieth century up to the present and draws a direct line from Barry Goldwater's "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice," to the January 6 insurrectionists. WCN, he writes, prioritizes white supremacy over a multi-racial democracy, the male as the natural head of the household over equality of the sexes, and the belief that America was founded as a Christian nation over religious tolerance. A common slogan within QAnon conspiracy groups is "it's our nation, not theirs." The January 6 insurrection was not their last stand. If WCN is not dismantled, Onishi warns, our democracy will not be preserved. Learn more about the Second Sunday Book Group here.

20s/30s TGIF at Saint Bread on Fourth Fridays
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 8–9 A.M., at Saint Bread, 1421 NE Boat Street, Seattle

|
|
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 12:30 P.M., Room 210
For the first QuiC Book Group gathering, ministry leaders have chosen Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson, a moving memoire about growing up queer in an abusive religious family in 1970s Britain. The first half of the book contains many scenes which will be familiar to readers of Winterson's essential 1985 Lesbian novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, but here they are presented stripped of their fictionalization and told with painful honesty. The book then jumps forward several decades, as Winterson explores how these experiences continued to resonate in adulthood. Issues of faith and organized religion pervade both sections of the book. The discussion will be in person only in Room 210, unless sufficient interest for online participation is expressed in advance. Contact Vicky Greenbaum with any questions, or if you would be interested in joining remotely: vgreenbaum1@gmail.com

Welcome Seminarian Alison Estep
Alison Leary Estep joins the community of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral as part of her Masters of Divinity low-residency degree program at The General Theological Seminary in New York City. Some details of her internship at the cathedral are still being worked out, but she will serve on Sundays as Eucharistic Minister, occasional preacher, and teacher.
She describes herself as a “boomerang Episcopalian” who was raised in the denomination but moved away from it for a period of time. On April 28, 2018, Alison renewed her baptismal vows at Saint Mark’s, on Cathedral Day. In 2022, she was named a postulant for ordination to the priesthood by Bishop Greg Rickel. A Michigan transplant, Alison has lived in Seattle for almost thirty years, where she raised her two children and put down roots in local schools and the church community. Her "sending church" (the parish that has raised her up for ordination) is St. John the Baptist in West Seattle. Alison plays the violin with a West Seattle-based chamber music group affectionately called “The Lost Girls.” She has spent most of her career working in public relations and marketing, and currently leads Seattle Pacific University’s communications department. Alison has two adult children and a new granddaughter.

The Leadership and residents of Tent City 3 would like to share some good news with the community of Saint Mark's. For many years, their agreement with the City of Seattle has limited them to 12 weeks per year in any one location, but now a new agreement has been reached:

We're beyond grateful to the King County Wastewater Treatment Division, King County, the City of Seattle Human Services Department, and the King County Regional Homelessness Authority for making this unique partnership work!

Changes to Parking Policies
Some changes have been made to the way paid parking works on the Saint Mark's property. As before, parking is free all day Sunday, and on other days for cathedral-sponsored events. Cathedral members can get a parking permit window decal, and visitors to the cathedral on cathedral business can get a temporary dashboard permit—inquire at the front desk when you arrive. The spaces designated specifically for permit holders are being reduced to the row along the cathedral building on the south side, and designated spots in the north lot which are not otherwise reserved for Gage or Amistad schools. The remainder of the south lot will be for paid parking, although permit holders are welcome to park in the paid zone. Learn more about how paid parking works here. Note that 100% of the revenues collected from parking fees are placed in a restricted fund and are used only for maintenance and long-deferred improvements of the parking lot itself. Please contact Dean Thomason with any concerns.

A Pilgrim’s Gratitude
by Chris Rigos, Junior Warden for Stewardship
For what am I grateful at our beloved Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral? How do I begin, with humility, to become a pilgrim of thankfulness?
I am grateful for my wise friends with the Creation Care ministry, who teach us how to love and protect our fragile and abundant world. I give thanks for our Garden Ministry friends who so lovingly care for our outside yards. I am prayerful for our beekeepers, for our bread-bakers, and for the artists who create masterpieces with flowers. I am thrilled by the hikes, feasts, and bike rides among different generations. Those who care for our Greenbelt keep us honest and humble in taking care of our part of Creation.
I am amazed and inspired by those among us who seek social justice, both at home and abroad. I am excited by their ongoing links to other faiths, to our indigenous neighbors, and to those in need of meals and affordable housing. Those honest souls who monitor and wisely invest our resources earn my respect, as do those facility gurus who keep our buildings safe, warm, and ready for our ministries.
I am amazed at the culinary skills of our many cooks and their devotion for feeding the hungry. I am joyful when I hear our many choirs and music makers. I am inspired when our liturgical ministers, both clergy and laypersons, offer prayer and song with dignity and beauty. Those who serve us at the table have won my admiration and thanks. I come away from the weekly table feeling filled with forgiveness, grace, and inspiration.
My open eyes find a daily rediscovery of gratitude and praise for you, my friends and fellow pilgrims. Your prayers and meditations keep me resilient and eager for life. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, thank you for joining me on my journey in this place, with presence, love, and mutual support. It is an honor to be traveling together.
