    Greetings,
    I’m Ariel Strickland, a transgendered Episcopalian of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Aurora CO parish. Thank you for having this TDoR service. To God be the glory!

    Our church is not having a TDOR service this year. I would very much like to participate in St. Mark’s Seatle’s TDOR livestream. However, I don’t see on your website the specific instructions for participating in the live stream. Will the livestream be viewable on the website, or must I go some other place like Facebook or YouTube to participate?

      Ariel, thank you so much for your interest and for your kind words! To join via livestream, just go to the livestream page on this website (or saintmarks.org/livestream ) at the time of the event on Monday evening. It will also appear simultaneously on the cathedral’s youtube channel (youtube.com/@saintmarksseattle )

    Thank you, Saint Mark’s, for this very life-giving Eucharist and Vigil of Remembrance. As an Episcopalian who has become more devoted in worship in a short time, this service was more meaningful than the ones I have attended before because of our liturgy. I was very much moved by the Holy Spirit as I attended the live streamed service. God bless you all.

      Ariel, thank you for your kind words. It is a blessing to us to know that this liturgy was meaningful to you. Please come to visit if you ever find yourself in Seattle. The peace of the God of love and liberation be with you! <3
