GREETINGS from the DEAN
Dear friends,
Over the last decade, Saint Mark’s Cathedral has been intentional about forging a set of spiritual practices for the community, and each individual, to embrace. As part of the triennial strategic planning cycles these have been variably expressed as:
2014–2019
• daily prayer
• weekly worship
• regular study
• ser ving others
• taking Sabbath time for renewal
• practicing hospitality to all
• generous, joyful giving from what we have been given
2020–2023
• Pray daily
• Worship weekly
• Learn constantly
• Serve compassionately
• Give generously
• Welcome genuinely
• Observe Sabbath time & make pilgrimage
2024–
• prayer
• worship
• study
• acts of justice
• pilgrimage
• retreat
• generosity
• Sabbath
• the care of Creation
Arising out of the monastic tradition but thoroughly imbedded in our “Prayer Book” sensibilities as Anglicans, spiritual practices are designed to assist persons (and communities) of faith in deepening their spiritual relationship with God while striking a balanced way of living by which we come to know ourselves better. It is a life-giving way of being in the world, especially in difficult times, when the wiles of the world tend to divert us and throw us off kilter. These spiritual practices are meant to inform all that we do and are, here at Saint Mark’s and in the world.
The articles in this issue of The Rubric are guided by such principles, as most issues are. To draw just a few connections: care of Creation (capital campaign), acts of justice (the new Women’s Shelter), making pilgrimage (Civil Rights pilgrimage), serving as generous stewards with all the resources entrusted to us in this generation (buildings and grounds, the Flentrop organ, emergency preparedness, and raising up leaders for the Church), study and learning (Education for Ministry), and of course worship and prayer (Center for Spirituality and Action, and an array of photographs that depict our communal prayer life). Indeed, worship and prayer create the very ethos in which we unfold to the rest of the spiritual practices.
The faithfulness of this cathedral community, in all the ways that finds expression, is deeply inspiring to me in my own spiritual journey, and your faithfulness evokes profound gratefulness in me for the honor of serving in your midst. I believe that gratitude is a catalyzing force in the spiritual life, and what a gift it is to be making our way together in these remarkable times.
Gratefully yours in Christ,
The
Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason, Dean & Rector

A CATHEDRAL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
by Dean Steve Thomason
It is often said that cathedrals are really never finished; they unfold over centuries with each generation stewarding the sacred in their own right. For Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle, this is certainly true. To recount briefly the history of major projects in our first century:
◆ 1920s: raising funds and breaking ground on a new cathedral for the Pacific Northwest
◆ 1940s: raising funds to reopen the cathedral after the war and to retire the debt (See the article in this issue on WWII crypt murals for an interesting and unique part of our history.)
◆ 1950s: construction of Cathedral House and Bloedel Hall as parish life center
◆ 1960s: installation of the Flentrop organ, a new narthex, and revision of the east façade
◆ 1980s & 1990s: a phased campaign to address seismic retrofitting, a new cathedral roof, and revision of the west façade
◆ 2010s: the Living Stones project sealing the building envelope, limestone cladding, replacing nave windows, and accessibility enhancements including an elevator and new front terrace
In 2020, drawing on the cathedral’s long-held commitment to creation care, the Cathedral Vestry adopted a goal for the cathedral campus to achieve net carbon zero emissions by 2030. During these intervening years, we have reduced carbon emissions by more than 30% on the cathedral campus through interventions such as replacing gas hot water heaters with electric tanks, upgrading the boiler control systems for more efficiency, and replacing failed steam traps in the HVAC systems. All good things, but to achieve net carbon zero emissions by 2030 will require replacement of the steam boiler that heats the nave and the hot water boiler system that services Cathedral House and Bloedel. Both systems operate on natural gas, but engineers have also informed us that they have exceeded their life expectancy, so now is the time to plan for replacing them with new energy-efficient electric systems.
For the past eighteen months, cathedral leadership has engaged in pre-design work to explore optimal solutions and scoping for a capital project that will address the work needed to meet our 2030 carbon reduction goal, and also to address other critical needs of the aging cathedral. The nave floor is crumbling, creating a safety
risk, and the narthex and its mid-century bathrooms are in poor repair, unheated, and outdated. The Predesign Committee saw synergies: a new radiant floor heating system with slate overlay, and renovations to the narthex that create a better-lighted, integrated feel in the narthex along with modernized bathrooms. Safety, accessibility, and enhanced worship experience are the guiding prin ciples for these efforts, along with our carbon reduction initiatives.
The Vestry authorized a feasibility study in Fall 2023, which revealed overwhelmingly positive support in the cathedral parish for a capital campaign to make such improvements possible. In December 2024, informed by the predesign concepts, cost estimations, and the cam paign feasibility report, the Vestry approved launching a capital campaign in 2025, with a goal of $8.5 million. (By comparison, the Living Stones campaign 2013–2017 raised $10.5 million.) The parish phase will unfold in the first half of 2025, with diocesan phase, broader communi ty and major gifts phases to follow, similar to our process for the Living Stones campaign.
In addition to the carbon reduction initiatives, the scope of the campaign focuses on enhancing the worship ex perience as noted above, with renovations to the narthex, bathrooms, and a new nave floor; and enhancing music endowments for cathedral music and compline choir. Moreover, Saint Mark’s has been offered a generous gift valued at $1.5 million for a new Renaissance organ, and we plan to integrate this installation into the capital project, which is anticipated to take place in 2028, assum ing campaign pledges are typically made for three years, 2025–2027.
A campaign leadership team has been assembled with longtime members Randy Urmston and Eliza Davidson serving as campaign co-chairs, John and Carol Hoerster as honorary co-chairs, and more than twenty others serving as leaders who will guide various aspects of the campaign. Marc Rieke of the Enrichment Group will once again serve as our campaign consultant.
Cathedrals are never really finished, but each generation stewards the sacred spaces for those who will come after us. Those who have gone before did so with great faithfulness, and this is our time, to leave the legacy for those who will inherit the place after we are gone. As we come to the end of this cathedral’s first century of existence, may we be faithful in laying the groundwork for the next century, and by God’s grace, many more to come!
I hope you will prayerfully consider your part in this endeavor. We will share more in the coming weeks about ways to participate.

Welcoming the Stranger
by Frank DiGirolamo
n emergency overnight shelter for women, known as Donna Jean’s Place, is opening this winter in the St. Nicholas building. A collaboration of Saint Mark’s Cathedral and Operation Nightwatch (seattlenightwatch.org), it will shelter 20 women per night and is projected to help more than 100 women annually on their path to stability. It will offer showers and storage lockers and include amenities such as case management and basic medical care. Perhaps the greatest amenity is the opportunity for the women and us to grow in loving relationship.
To tell the story of the development of Donna Jean’s Place is to articulate a timeline of inspiration, recognized needs, and compassionate responses by numerous people.
Donna Jean Palmberg is the widow of Nightwatch’s founder, Pastor Bud Palmberg. Donna Jean is a longtime Christ-follower and a loving advocate for those in need. When the fledgling shelter was started in the Spring of 2024, her name was the obvious choice.
The Donna Jean’s Place effort began when we met “Aimee” on a rainy night last winter. She had walked across town to Nightwatch—shivering, alone, and desperate for shelter. We could find nothing. She slept around the corner on a sidewalk. Our memory of Aimee has influenced our decisions. We are increasingly aware of the great lack of women’s shelters in Seattle. More than half the women experiencing homelessness report stalking, harassment and worse. It is a common practice for them to walk all night to stay safe. And, when you walk all night, you sleep during the day. It’s difficult to make any progress.
Tonette Winston, Nightwatch’s director of shelter and housing, quickly suggested that we budget to shelter women at our meal center on at least the coldest nights. The Nightwatch Board of Directors quickly built on that idea, releasing funds from our reserves to start a parttime shelter.
St. Mary’s Catholic Church opened its doors for us to start a humble operation within a loving parish community. Nine mats on the floor, two nights per week, from
9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
We slowly expanded to three nights. Our guests told us this was “the best place ever!” The St. Joseph Foundation, part of the Catholic Archdiocese, provided a generous grant to help us keep our fledgling shelter going. We expanded to four nights, and then five.
In summer 2024, Dean Steve Thomason of Saint Mark’s came out to look at Nightwatch’s little operation. He suggested the possible multi-year use of a soon-to-bevacant space in the St. Nicholas building. It is planned to become low-income housing at some point in the future, but we would be welcome to use it until then. Nightwatch’s leadership team fell in love with the space. It allows us to more than double the shelter in size, and it’s in the midst of a very active parish community, known for compassion.
Schultz-Miller, a local construction company and a longtime supporter of Nightwatch, offered to be the contractor. How amazing that a builder of high-end custom homes is building a domicile for people who currently live on the streets. It is a divine thing! The Salvation Army donated 20 bunk beds. No more sleeping on the floor!
And the donations. Wow! Individuals have been pitching in. Epiphany Parish and the Saint Mark’s community have been incredibly generous, and other churches want to help. It is a response of the broader faith community and a great thing for the city to see. There has been good media coverage.
We are excited to see the finishing touches added. Volunteers are assembling welcome kits and hygiene items. Donna Jean’s friends have knitted colorful quilts and pillowcases. A Saint Mark’s parishioner is donating artwork. We give thanks to God for the inspiration to open our doors and our hearts to welcome the stranger. ◆

Facilities Upgrades at Saint Mark’s
by Julia Logan
The Facilities Committee is one of the standing committees of the Vestry and is chaired by the Junior Warden for Facilities. We meet monthly with the Dean, Subdean and members of the cathedral staff on matters of repair, restoration and preservation of the cathedral buildings and grounds. We report to the Vestry and make recommendations for project funding. We oversee repairs and maintenance, but we also focus on the goal of making all cathedral property net carbon zero by 2030. Additionally, we are working on projects that will improve safety and accessibility and make the cathedral comfortable and welcoming for all who visit, worship and work here.
One current project is the replacement of the windows in Bloedel Hall and Cathedral House, which were constructed some 70 years ago. The west-facing windows of Cathedral House, in the words of a former staff member, offer wonderful light and a glorious view, but aren’t conducive to a good working environment:
The windows in my office are glorious for natural light, but terribly problematic for
temperature control. In the winter months the wall of windows provides little in the way of insulation from cold temperatures outside, so I must run a space heater in addition to my office heat in order for the space to be usable. In the summer, the heat can be so extreme that even with blinds lowered and a portable air-conditioning unit constantly running, the temperature can be too high to tolerate and can render my office space entirely unusable.
Replacement windows were ordered in 2024 from a company in Germany (the only place that manufactures the particular product we require) and shipped to the U.S. They have arrived recently. The old windows were single-pane and only ⅛-inch thick. The new double-pane windows, which consist of two ¼-inch panes with an argon gas filler, will have a “trial run” of sorts in January. One window in Bloedel Hall and one window on the upstairs office level of Cathedral House will be removed and fitted with the new windows to check for fit. If all goes well, the remaining windows will be replaced over the next few months on a schedule that causes
the least amount of disruption to people working in the spaces.
The window replacement project was made possible in large part by a gift from Eulalie Bloedel Schneider to upgrade Bloedel Hall and Cathedral House.
Another recent project was undertaken to provide better safety and accessibility to the cathedral campus. A new pathway, now officially named the All Saints Pathway, was created just to the north of the Exit driveway. It leads from the Tenth Avenue sidewalk across the front lawn and is designed to keep pedestrians separate and safe from the vehicle traffic in the driveway. The path has no curb and is level, so it can accommodate pedestrians, mobility aids and things like strollers. A new concrete pad was poured for the nearby space under the picnic table and a decorative design, using leftover stones from the labyrinth, was created there to tie in with main entrance. This area now provides a more accessible and safe way for people to enter the campus, and it also offers a place for all to relax and remember the many saints who have called Saint Mark’s home over the years. ◆
Congregations and Emergency Preparedness
by Erik R. Bauer
Emergency preparedness and response (EPR) is a frequent topic within congregations in the Diocese of Olympia, due to the many fault lines in Washington state and the threat of earthquakes. At Saint Mark’s, EPR is part of my ministry and aligns with Saint Mark’s guiding themes of “Empowering the Call to Action and Service” and “Expanding Regional Reach and Welcome.” Being a leader in this area means more than being in charge; it means inspiring others to take action. And because a church is much more than its four walls, engagement within the broader community reflects Christ’s teachings.
As the diocesan and cathedral archivist, I provide free consulting to all congregations and ministries within the diocese. I highlight the relationship between EPR and the broader community when speaking with congregations. Many congregations, including Saint Mark’s, already do an excellent job of outreach within the community, and EPR can build upon this foundation. When an emergency happens, the broader community may turn to Saint Mark’s and other
congregations to help meet physical or spiritual needs, and how we plan and respond to events can make a huge difference in meeting congregational and community needs.
While I do not have a background in emergency management, I have taken various training courses since 2014 and have continued my education since becoming diocesan archivist. In December 2022, I attended Heritage Emergency and Response Training (HEART), a partnership between the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative (SCRI) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). There I gained a greater understanding of emergency preparedness and response and learned from the other participants from institutions around the United States.
That experience led to an international opportunity with the Leadership Course for Cultural Heritage Stewards in Challenging Times, a partnership between SCRI and the Cultural Emergency Response. The course is designed for those working for cultural heritage organizations that are “under threat [and] face unique
challenges that require balancing the demands of heritage preservation in an unpredictable environment and the needs of multiple stakeholders that include the affected community, funders, government officials, the military and emergency managers.”
I applied and was accepted into the weeklong course, which took place in late September 2024 in The Hague, Netherlands. The other participants were from institutions around the world, including Jordan, India, Philippines, Ukraine, Iraq, Senegal, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Haiti, Cameroon, Vietnam, and Bhutan. I was the only person from the United States accepted for this session.
As part of the application process, we had to pitch a theoretical project to use as a learning opportunity. My project proposal included having one person within each of the ten diocesan regions act as a short-term EPR point person and creating a manual for the regions. The benefits of having a dedicated person for each region include faster reaction time and coordination within churches if communications are out or travel difficult due

to earthquakes, wildfires, or flooding. The project would have the potential to create closer connections between congregations and provide the diocese with better “on-the-ground” assessments during an emergency.
The first day of the course was focused on defining leadership (because leadership is critical during an emergency) and the importance of communication. The instructor stressed that “not all communication is leadership, but all leadership is communication.” The rest of the week was spent communicating as a leader through teamwork exercises. We learned how to apply the communication model for leading change, framing strategies for leader messages, creating strategies for capacity building, creating
partnerships, preparing for leading change, and strengths-based leadership.
The third day of the course was the most stressful for me because we recorded our pitches for the theoretical projects. During class, we worked with our instructor on how to deliver our pitch and then we partnered with a fellow attendee and had our pitches timed and critiqued by our partner. We got to hear more about each other’s projects, and by hearing about others’ projects, we were able to make our own better. Then we recorded our pitches individually to be compiled for the final day.
On the final day, we met at the Museum Panorama Mesdag. Robert J. Quarles van Ufford, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, served as the emcee for the event. Four funders were there to listen to our pitches and provide feedback. The funders asked us questions and then made suggestions for improvement.
Now that I’m back in Western Washington, I look forward to continuing to provide consulting services to congregations of the diocese and providing additional resources within the context of emergency preparedness and response to strengthen our work in our communities. ◆

Saint Mark’s Cathedral Emergency Response Planning
by Scott Kovacs
Many of you may remember a Sunday in August 2023 when Dean Steve Thomason led our congregation at all three services through an “active shooter drill.” While unsettling, preparing for a situation we hope and pray never comes to pass is part of a larger, intentional, strategic plan for Saint Mark’s Cathedral contained in our Emergency and Disaster Response Manual. This document, stewarded by the Vestry and the Junior Warden for Facilities, is reviewed every two years by members of the Facilities Committee and Vestry in collaboration with the Dean, local law enforcement, and with the assistance of Homeland Security, who perform an annual assessment of our safety and security needs. The Manual addresses several key areas of Saint Mark’s infrastructure, facilities, and staff and member safety. Areas discussed include bomb threats, earthquake preparedness, fire, medical emergencies, cybersecurity, and intruders. The documents’ procedures address the entire Saint Mark’s campus from the St. Nicholas Building to the Deanery and contain vital information for law enforcement (including the FBI) and first responders about aiding us in an emergency.
As part of our ongoing efforts to build safety in the larger community, Saint Mark’s maintains relationships with local and federal law enforcement, emergency
communications centers such as the Seattle HUB (with special radios to assist in building-to-building and building-to-network communications), and we are a voluntary location for the Red Cross to set up a triage and care center in the event of a major disaster. During 2023 and 2024, Saint Mark’s participated in communication drills that practiced the “how” of connecting to local and regional authorities during times of distress and disaster. We also participated in another site visit and assessment from the Department of Homeland Security who audited our facility and cybersecurity measures, and made recommendations for improvements throughout the campus, some of which are already in place (such as the bollards in the front driveway and additional security doors in the Hoerster Annex) and planned for, such as key card entry for certain doors throughout the campus. A FEMA grant application that will include more security features is currently pending.
All of these relationships are part of Saint Mark’s long history of being more than a place of worship, but a gathering place for people during times of distress or need, and they help us offer safe and secure hospitality to our congregation and the broader community. ◆
Education for Ministry:
a Vaccine for Christian Nationalism
by Marv Waschke
Education for Ministry (EfM) is a faith formation program from the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. Sewanee develops the EfM curriculum and trains the mentors who conduct the program in Episcopal parishes. EfM is especially relevant today because it is a strenuous vaccination against Christian nationalism. It confers scriptural, theological, and historical knowledge and provides the tools to analyze and evaluate the proposals of clever nationalist proselytizers who argue that true Christian faith requires their form of Christian identity.
Christian nationalists worry me. They gained power in the last election and their clamor has been growing louder in the last decade. Their progress is a sticky spider web of attractive ideas, a trap for America as the nationalists force their version of Christian identity onto our country.
At its worst, U.S. Christian nation alism is xenophobic and racist, yet for committed Christians, its tenets can appear attractive. For example, most Christians pray daily. Can it be so bad to give school children a chance to pray during their school day? Many aspects of Christian nationalist positions are hard to argue against, at least in the abstract, because they use the vocabulary of Christian precepts like loving one’s neighbor and the blessedness of everyone before God, while twisting their meaning. Their declarations place community above individual desire and wellbeing, which is one of the pillars that uphold American democracy. Some aspects of Christian identity may not appear so bad, but who determines that identity?
arms against the Romans, Jesus accepted the reality of Roman oppression and exploitation, yet declared a new kingdom of transcendent truth, of love between God and neighbors, an end run around the invincible Roman legions.
The Roman rulers, predictably, attempted to suppress Christianity and failed. Three centuries later, Emperor Constantine co-opted the kingdom of Christ by declaring the Christian church an institution of the empire. Subsequently, the Christian church and the governments that replaced the Roman Empire mixed power and piety into a potent brew that was far from the kingdom of truth. This mixture became an institution that combined church and state.
Constantine’s mixture of church and state came to predominate in the West and still holds sway in some countries today. The Christian nationalists who clamor for power in the U.S. may differ from historic Christian nationalists, but their roots run back to the age of Constantine and the base desire for temporal power.
Episcopalians might be expected to be especially receptive to Christian nationalism because they have a history of mixing church and state. Their theology is Anglican and their organization is an offshoot of The Church of England, which the laws of the United Kingdom recognize as a national church.
The word touted as the longest nontechnical word in English, “antidisestablishmentarianism,” was coined by British journalists to describe movements to resist removing The Church of England as Britain’s national church.
Combatting Christian nationalism requires hard thinking. In the gospels, Jesus led his followers out of the oppression of the Roman Empire. However, instead of raising
Other major flavors of Protestantism--Baptist, Methodist, and Reformed churches--have histories less strongly associated with national churches. Lutheran churches
have historically been national churches in German and Scandinavian countries but not in the English-speaking world. Similarly, Roman Catholic churches have been the national churches among Latinate populations, but not in North America.
Recently I read that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, principal leader of the Church of England, presented a troubling resignation over his delayed response to abuse in church youth camps thirty years ago. Welby submitted his resignation to the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, Charles III, not a church council. The King, with the advice of the British prime minister, will name Welby’s successor. Charles III is in a long line of sovereigns that goes back to Constantine.
The Episcopal Church in the U.S. has never had an official government status. When its Presiding Bishop Curry reached his retirement, the Episcopal Church, not the United States government, chose his successor.
The United States has never been a Christian nationalist country. The U.S. constitution guarantees separation between church and state and freedom of religion. Nevertheless, Christian nationalists insist that their version of Christianity is crucial to U.S. identity and want the government to promote—or enforce—their religious positions. Christian nationalism has risen and fallen in the U.S. over the years. In an upsurge of Christian nationalism, “In God We Trust” appeared on American currency in 1864 and “under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the 1950s.
Vocal Christian nationalists seek to create legal fusion of their version of Christianity and U.S. national character. Falling back on Constantine’s plan to strengthen the Roman empire by endorsing Christianity, they insist that Christianity is critical to the United States’ power and
stature. They want the government to promote or enforce Christianity in order to maintain the United States’ place in the international order. Like Constantine’s successors, today’s popular Christian nationalists pay vocal service to the Christian gospel but the sum of their preaching is far from a kingdom of God.
Resistance to Christian nationalism means battling smart manipulators who prey on human weakness under the cover of Christian ideals. When opponents of Christian nationalism launch marketing campaigns with internet memes and catchy slogans, the battle morphs into a contest of marketing skills, which is the way the nationalists prefer to fight. Such campaigns may be tactical successes, but they place the battle on the nationalists’ chosen ground.
But don’t despair. We have more powerful strategies.
Education for Ministry (EfM) teaches lay people to discern and act in faith to build their personal ministries. EfM gives its students the tools and knowledge to analyze and reject Christian nationalist claims as they arise. For example, intense study of the Hebrew Bible provides context when nationalists quote isolated passages from the Old Testament in support of patriarchy or racism. Study of the New Testament offers insight into the relationship between Jesus’s teachings and the Roman Empire. Knowledge of Christian history exposes the long and complex relations between Christianity and government.
EfM achieves this through small groups enrolled in a four-year program. Participants read the entire Hebrew Bible and New Testament in historical context, a two-millennium history of the Christian church, works on theology, plus additional writings on contemporary Christian issues like colonialism, feminism, and racism. EfM trains its students in “theological reflection” a method for discerning God’s presence in personal and cultural experiences and applying spiritual insight to daily lives. Saint Mark’s has two EfM groups in session this year: one led by Wayne Duncan and Peter Snyder (Monday evenings), another led by Maria Coldwell and Julia Logan (Monday mornings).
EfM inoculates students against Christian nationalism with knowledge: scriptural, historical, and theological. It teaches theological reflection which can place Christian nationalist proposals into better Christian perspective. I am now in my fourth and final year of EfM and my years in the program have led me to write this essay.
To acquire the knowledge and tools for your own vaccination against Christian nationalism, sign up for EfM. Enrollment starts in June for the fall session. ◆

Conservation for the Cathedral Murals
by Marc Aubertin
Saint Mark’s has undertaken significant conservation efforts for its interior murals, specifically those adorning the crypt walls. Constructed between 1928 and 1931, the Cathedral building was occupied for a time during World War II by the U.S. Army. The murals were painted in the crypt, presumably by the personnel posted there who used the space as a sort of “canteen.” These artworks form a curious part of the Cathedral’s history and require careful preservation to ensure their longevity.
Becky Wong, a Senior Project Management Professional and Preservation Specialist at Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) engaged the conservation work as a community service project. She was tasked with cleaning and assessing the condition of the murals, particularly focusing on the challenges posed by efflorescence—a white powdery deposit caused by moisture behind the concrete surface. The cleaning process involved strategic trials to identify the most effective methods without damaging the murals.
Between November 18 and 20, 2024, WJE conducted in-situ cleaning trials using a Waterless Cleaning Poultice developed by American Building Restoration Products, Inc. This latex-based cleaner was deemed essential, especially considering the cool temperatures of the crypt that might hinder conventional cleaning methods. The poultice was allowed to cure for 48 hours, creating an optimal environment for cleaning while also protecting the murals beneath.
Throughout the process, WJE noted areas prone to water infiltration, which presented a significant concern. Three specific sites were identified where water was seeping into the structure, exacerbating the efflorescence and potentially leading to more severe damage over time. Immediate areas of concern included cracks near window sills and junction boxes for conduits that appeared to connect to the exterior. These findings highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the Cathedral’s facilities team in maintaining the integrity of the structure and its artistic elements.
The laboratory analysis of paint samples from the murals further aids in strategizing their preservation. Using pyrolysis gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, WJE
identified the chemical compositions of the paints, which are primarily oil-based. Such analyses are invaluable in ensuring that any future conservation efforts, including repainting or restoring the murals, utilize compatible materials and techniques that do not compromise the existing artwork.
The Cathedral’s rich history underscores the importance of these conservation efforts. Not only do the murals serve as artistic representations of the Cathedral’s narrative, but they also embody the parish’s dedication to preserving the community’s collective memory through art. The recent cleaning trials and ongoing investigations into water management signify proactive measures being taken to ensure that future generations can appreciate the beauty and significance of these murals. The recent efforts by WJE at Saint Mark’s illustrate a thoughtful and methodical approach to preserving historical artwork in a challenging environment. The combination of strategic cleaning processes, careful monitoring of water infiltration, and laboratory analysis of paint compositions will hopefully contribute to the successful long-term preservation of the Cathedral’s crypt murals, safeguarding them as vital symbols of Seattle’s architectural and cultural heritage.
Profound thanks to Rebecca Wong, PMP & APT RP, Senior Associate of Wiss, Janey, Elstner Associates, Inc. for guiding and implementing this important work, pro bono.

Living into Intentional Spiritual Community
by Satya Jaech
lmost 40 years ago, author Marsha Sinetar wrote a book titled Ordinary People as Monks and Mystics The book addressed the growing longing of many modern-day individuals to live an intentional spiritual life outside the walls of the monastery. I’ve never forgotten this book or the strong resonance I had with its title.
This longing to live an intentional spiritual life is what has drawn 13 individuals together in the inaugural spiritual community of the cathedral’s Center for Spirituality and Action. Our group came together in September 2024, and has been praying, meditating, learning, and growing together weekly since then. Our inaugural cohort will meet until late June 2025. A second intentional community cohort will be forming early in 2025.
We first gathered in September for a retreat at the cathedral. One of the assignments for this retreat was to present our spiritual autobiography, in which we shared the life experiences that have formed us spiritually. For me, it was deeply moving not only to share my own spiritual autobiography, but also to hear the stories of suffering, joy, forgiveness, and healing that have shaped the lives of others. I was struck with how beautifully unique everyone’s life journey has been, and how each individual has come to seek God in a different way. I was delighted to discover that, despite our different spiritual paths and life experiences, each one of us expressed a profound longing for a deeper connection with the Divine.
It’s no small feat to create an intentional spiritual community that doesn’t live under one roof! We range in age from the 30s up to the 80s.
CENTER FOR SPIRITUALITY AND ACTION
Some of us are employed, some are retired. Some of us live as far from the cathedral as Whidbey Island and Tacoma. We’re a diverse group of people who come from many walks of life. It has been up to us to create a structure that is not only realistic and sustainable, but which also supports us in growing spiritually as individuals and as a community.
We meet virtually each week and gather in person once a month for a longer period of time. We share our lives with each other, pray for one another, meditate together, study together, prepare meals together, and laugh together. In addition to our time together, each community member participates in individual spiritual direction. The group is currently in the process of developing its own Rule of Life, a guideline that gives structure and
direction to monastic communities. For me, the best surprise so far is that I feel held by this community in a way that is deeply healing. I’m discovering that community is not only a vital component of spiritual growth, but a necessary component of spiritual growth.
We’ve now been together for a total of four months. The unique gifts we each have to offer the world have begun to emerge. As a community, we’re ready to look at the “Action” part of the Center’s name, and what this will mean in our lives together. It’s not clear to us yet what this will look like, but we’re working it out together.
As you are leaving the cathedral parking lot, a small sign to the right of the driveway identifies Leffler House as the Center’s physical home. Leffler House is base camp for the Center’s intentional communities, along with two dedicated offices for spiritual direction. If you pass this sign and feel drawn to participate in this courageous experiment in spiritual community, please contact Dean Steve Thomason for more information: sthomason@saintmarks.org ◆
The Center for Spirituality and Action began as the vision of Dean Steve Thomason and was further developed by a dedicated work group in 2024. It offers the opportunity for individuals to deepen and grow within the structure of monastic models of prayer, meditation, action, and community, while at the same time embracing the complex realities of our world. The Center is partnering with a group of highly qualified and vetted spiritual directors who offer spiritual companionship for those who desire it.
If you are interested in exploring a possible relationship with a spiritual director or companion, please contact The Rev. Canon Rich Weyls for more information: rweyls@saintmarks.org
Stories from a Civil Rights Pilgrimage
by Penny Reid
In October 2024, I was fortunate to be one of 37 people on a diocesan Civil Rights Pilgrimage led by the Reverend Canon Carla Robinson, The Reverends Britt Olson and Bryon Hansen, and Adrienne Elliott. We followed the life of Martin Luther King Jr. on our journey from his birthplace in Atlanta, through Selma, Montgomery, and Birmingham to Memphis where he was assassinated.
One might say my pilgrimage began a year prior when I joined a Sacred Ground cohort at Saint Mark’s. This intense curriculum, developed by the national Episcopal Church to address
racism, is built around discussion of online films and readings.
One personal memory was especially searing.
While at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, I filed into “The Experience Room” with my fellow pilgrims, sitting front and center, innocently, in pews from 1963, until that bomb exploded on the sur-
round-sound videos. Even though it was a mere reenactment, I was stunned and left choked-up for most of the afternoon. Four children had been wiped away. Their dear mothers keening.
We returned for the “regular” service the next day; for me, it was anything but the usual fare. We were welcomed and folded in for Worship, complete
A Memory shared by Mandi Mogg
I joined the pilgrimage as an adjunct to Sacred Ground. The journey contextualized my childhood in a manner I had not expected.
Near the end of our visit, I rounded a bend in the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and landed in a full-scale reconstruction of a 1950’s Soda Shoppe. The air was sucked out of the room and my lungs as I saw what had been described to me on many occasions. My dad had worked at his town Soda Shoppe in high school when Black people in Virginia could order from the side counter but not sit down. This exhibit was his lived experience, and I was there, sensing the story differently—now after five days as a Civil Rights pilgrim.
I stood by the snuggling white couple sitting at the counter (one poodle skirt, one ice cream soda, two straws) looking at the signage above with a young Black person wistfully peering in, “Segregation by custom and law.” Here was the lesson from my father in full; I understood why he told this story repeatedly, shame in his voice—a confession of sorts. He was teaching us to do better, “Our family treats ALL people with respect and dignity.”
I also learned from our remarkable guide, Peri, that vanilla ice cream was not “available” to Black families in much of the Jim Crow south; and thus, many Black southerners still prefer butter pecan ice cream to this day.
Activist and scholar Dr. Catherine Meeks discusses her book with Pilgrim Steve Moen
with live jazz accompaniment and a sermon that was out of this world. And little kids, dressed to the nines, with their parents and grandparents, were all around me. They had returned to church, trusting enough that all was well (some sixty years after the terrible events of 1963). It was a blessed paradox to me… a testimony that healing is possible.
While on the pilgrimage, many participants experienced similar moments of reckoning, realizing for instance that our northern ancestors were also involved in slavery, or that there but by the Grace of God, we might have acted similarly given the
blatant white supremacy that prevailed back in the 1960s. Certainly, the reality of white privilege, then and now, was obvious. Together we walked on sacred ground for ten days, allowing for truth-telling, lamenting, and deep appreciation for those in the civil rights movement. We came home motivated to continue the work. The chance to travel and pray together daily in community and support each other’s learning cannot be overvalued. Add great food, some riotous laughter sprinkled in, plus the chance to hang out with our new bishop and fellow pilgrim, Phil LaBelle, altogether it made for an awesome adventure. ◆

Raising Up Leaders for The Episcopal Church
by Steve Thomason
There are several broadly accepted vital signs of a healthy parish—uplifting and inviting worship, compelling mission and vision, welcoming and connecting ministries, faithful financial practices, inspiring and capable leadership, and clear paths of discipleship.1 This last vital sign takes shape in many ways, and for most people, it means living into the vibrant range of lay ministries that shape the Church in so many ways. For a few, it means being raised up for ordained ministry as priests, and Saint Mark’s Cathedral Parish has a distinctive charism of cultivating and training priests for service to the broader church.
In recent years, Saint Mark’s has sponsored numerous people to become priests. These include:
◆ The Rev. Canon Carla Robinson, now serving as Canon for Multicultural Ministries and Community Transformation, Diocese of Olympia.
◆ The Rev. Josh Hosler, now serving as Rector, Church of the Good Shepherd, Federal Way, WA.
◆ The Rev. Sabeth Fitzgibbons, now serving as Rector, Trinity Parish, Seattle.
◆ The Rev. Shelley Fayette, now serving as Rector, Christ Church, Seattle.
◆ The Rev. Malcolm McLaurin, now serving as Rector, Church of the Holy Cross, Redmond, WA.
◆ The Rev. Christopher McPeak, now serving as Rector, Church of the Good Samaritan, Sammamish, WA.
◆ The Rev. Roberts Stevens, now serving as Curate, St. John the Baptist, West Seattle.
◆ The Rev. Phillip Lienau, now serving as Curate, St. Paul’s, Seattle. Many others have served their curacies (two-year internship training as new priests) at Saint Mark’s in recent years, including:
• The Rev. Irene Tanabe, now serving as Rector of All Souls Church, Okinawa, Japan.
◆ The Rev. Jennifer King Daugherty, now serving as Priest-in-charge, St. Stephen’s, Seattle.
◆ The Rev. Canon Cristi Chapman, now serving as Canon to the Ordinary, Diocese of Olympia.
◆ The Rev. Nancy Ross, now serving as Associate Rector, St. Mark’s, Palo Alto, CA.
◆ The Rev. Linzi Stahlecker, now serving as Priest-in-charge, St. Benedict’s, Los Osos, CA.
On December 7, 2024, three seminary students sponsored or supported by Saint Mark’s were ordained to the transitional diaconate at the cathedral by Bishop Phil LaBelle:
◆ Kelly Moody, who served as Director of Children and Family Ministries at Saint Mark’s before attending seminary at the School of Theology in Sewanee, TN.
◆ Lynne Markova, who served multiple terms on the Vestry and as Senior Warden at Saint Mark’s before attending seminary at General Theological Seminary.
◆ Adam Conley, who served as 20s/30s Ministry Coordinator and Seattle Service Corps Director before attending seminary at the School of Theology in Sewanee, TN.
Kelly Moody says, “Saint Mark’s is a magnet for spiritual leaders of all kinds, both lay and clergy, who articulate God’s love for the world in much-needed ways. I’m really grateful for the chance to have grown into ministry there among so many excellent leaders who challenged and encouraged my own sense of call. Being ordained a deacon at Saint Marks among beloved and inspiring people was so joyful!” While Lynne Markova adds, “Having the opportunity to serve regularly at the altar and to train others to do so at Saint Mark’s has given me a strong sense for the overall flow of the liturgy. I have found this to be so helpful as I transition into my new role as deacon. I am deeply grateful to Saint Mark’s and also to my field education sites, St. Dunstan’s and St. Luke’s, for providing me with this experience.”
Other current seminarians supported by Saint Mark’s include Emily Meeks (Virginia Theological Seminary), Alison Estep (General Theological Seminary), and Jon Achée (General Theological Seminary).
All of these persons have left indelible marks on the cathedral community as leaders in ministry. And all of them bear the marks of this cathedral community even as they have left our midst in service to the broader Church. We give thanks to God for the bonds of affection we share with them, and we bless them in their ministries to the Church that take shape in so many diverse ways.
ORGAN by NIGHT
not your typical organ recital!
by Michael Kleinschmidt
How often does it have to be tuned?
How much would it cost to build this organ today?
Do composers indicate which stops to pull out, or is that up to the organist?
These are just a few of the interesting questions asked by members of the audience at Organ by Night—a brief organ recital following Compline on the third Sunday of every month.
Saint Mark’s has offered post-Compline organ recitals for generations. Started by Peter Hallock when the Flentrop organ was relatively new, they were a way of sharing the organ with organists and music lovers beyond those who got to play and sing with it on Sunday mornings. After the pandemic lockdown, the restoration in 2021 of in-person attendance at worship services and concerts afforded cathedral music staff an opportunity to renew and formalize the tradition. Dr. Jason Anderson, Director II of The Compline Choir, came up with the fetching name, Organ by Night. I played the first recital that autumn, and together we decided to make Organ by Night a predictable offering on the third Sunday of every month.
In a brief announcement at the conclusion of Compline, Gregory Bloch, a member of The Compline Choir and Saint Mark’s Director of Communications, invites the Compline congregation to remain for Organ by Night if they wish. They are invited to join the organist in the gallery to watch and listen up close. Typically, 45–50 people will fill the gallery, and another 40–50 will listen downstairs. Organ by Night recitals begin quietly within the serene mood established by Compline, but they usually end in a way that reveals the power of the full organ.
Accomplished guest organists play most of the Organ by Night recitals. Associate Organist John Stuntebeck and I offer at least one recital each annually. We are careful to invite guest organists who not only play well but can also speak engagingly to the audience about the music they’re playing and the organ itself. I tell them, “here is an opportunity to do some missionary work for your instrument.” Most listeners are not regular church goers; many have never heard a pipe organ in person. They are awestruck and full of questions about this amazing instrument and its music. Recitals are limited to twenty minutes, and then about ten minutes are available for questions and answers.
For me, playing an Organ by Night recital is a great privilege and a form of evangelism. I believe that when we share with other people what is important to us, it is likely to become important also to them. When people experience how lavishly Saint Mark’s faith community expresses its love of God through music, I believe they are more likely to listen for God’s voice in their own lives.
Organ by Night is an extension of Saint Mark’s Music Series. It complements the feature-length Flentrop organ concerts presented annually by guest artists of international stature. It is administered by Laura Loge, Music Series Coordinator, and supported by the Friends of Music Series. ◆
