You are invited to join in this intergenerational gathering to assemble items in gallon size Ziplock bags. At the end of the gathering, the packets will be blessed by a clergy member.

Mideast Focus Ministry Film Series 2023 Theme: Break the Silence—Stories of Occupation
DISCUSSION: THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 7 P.M., online only (watch the film online in advance)
The third event in the Mideast Focus Film Series will be offered, online only, on Thursday, March 16, presenting Tantura, an explosive documentary that tells the story of Israeli researcher Teddy Katz's attempt to document the ethnic cleansing of a Palestinian village in 1948. In taped interviews of men who were Israeli soldiers during the Nakba, we hear descriptions of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and tragedy that now lie under a parking lot by the sea. When the story was first revealed by a humble graduate student in 1997, Katz's scholarship was applauded... until it became a news story. Then the author became a target and the whole system turned against him. This dynamic is still playing out today as the Israeli maker of this film is condemned and now struggles to get work, or grants to work, in Israel. We will hear about the repercussions from Alon Schwarz, the director of the film himself during the post-film discussion. To register for a link to this film and discussion request a link at: seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com
This week, the Mideast Focus Ministry is commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the death of Rachel Corrie, a young woman from Washington State crushed to death by an Israeli Caterpillar (heavy home demolition bulldozers supplied to the Israeli Defense Forces by the American company Caterpillar). We are reminded that Palestinians and their defenders are still paying a high price, including losing their lives, today.

Facilitated by Vinh Do and The Rev. Canon Carla Robinson. Hosted by Saint Mark’s Cathedral; open to all in the Diocese of Olympia and beyond.
In 2021, the Episcopal Church released its Racial Justice Audit documenting the experience of race, racism, and racial identity within church leadership. At the Diocese of Olympia's Diocesan Convention last fall, a task force presented its findings and proposed ways we in this diocese might engage this important work. This forum is designed as part of that work. All cathedral members are encouraged to register to attend, and members from other churches are most welcome also. This is an opportunity to listen, learn and engage in conversation with others as we seek to understand and work towards racial justice in our communities, guided by five questions developed by the Task Force. Contact Canon Carla Robinson for more information: crobinson@ecww.org
Program is free, but registration is required for in-person or online participation. Register by submitting the form at this link.

The Seattle Opera is staging the world premiere of an opera based on Khaled Hosseini’s 2007 novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, so Saint Mark’s Book Group is reading or re-reading it, with many planning to see the opera.

THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 6:30 P.M., online via Zoom only
The next offering in the popular series of Climate Conversations will be on the subject of reuse. With ecommerce and nearby stores making shopping easy, our natural tendency is to buy new items all the time. From Rent the Runway and Amazon Renewed to King County Repair Events and Goodwill, and more, there are plenty of ways to buy high quality pre-loved items so we can reuse them or to sell and donate so that others can reuse our items. We’ll discuss the concept of reuse and then provide a multitude of practical suggestions on how to reuse items or enable reuse of things we want or need in our everyday lives. Please note that Climate Conversations will be offered on the second Tuesday of the month, at 6:30 p.m., going forward.

SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 2:30 P.M. (two identical performances), in Thomsen Chapel

Baroque violinist Tekla Cunningham will perform the whole cycle in various area venues this season, offering Set Two—the intensely expressive “Sorrowful Mysteries”—in the intimacy of Saint Mark’s Thomsen Chapel during the season of Lent.

SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 7:30–9 P.M., Leffler House
Nothing is more human than our sexuality. The world can send many signals about the body, sex and sexuality that can be confusing or toxic. In this conversation with Dean Steve Thomason, we'll discuss a theology of sexuality and how it can deeply resonate with the divine mystery and the gift of desire that flows from it. We'll consider how an understanding of sexuality does not have to be distorted and can be life-giving as we lean into our inherent goodness as sexual beings. Light refreshments provided. Afterward, some may choose to go to Compline together. Do you have questions you may like to see explored? Email Luke Abdow in advance: labdow@saintmarks.org

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS
The Seattle Choral Company presents: The Fruit of Silence featuring John Rutter’s Requiem
SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 8 P.M., in the cathedral nave; Pre-concert talk with director Freddie Coleman at 7 p.m.
The Seattle Choral Company (A Saint Mark's Cathedral Artist-in-residence choir) presents their mid-season concert featuring three works on a theme of darkness giving way to light. Widely recognized by musicians worldwide, John Rutter is beloved for his lush melodies and orchestrations. Rutter’s Requiem is unmistakably optimistic in its message of hope and solace, expressed through uplifting musical themes and beautiful texts in both Latin and English. Bob Chilcott’s Canticles of Light exudes comfort, and the texts, sung at the service of Compline in the evening and Matins in the morning, ask for God’s light to protect us through the night and to allay our fears. In 2013 Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks set Mother Teresa’s universal prayer of peace to music, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that has become a staple for choirs around the world. More information and tickets are available here.
