As we celebrate Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day (July 22nd) we honor her as the Apostle to the Apostles and reflect upon her story and our story.
This worship service will be in-person.
(or you may view the service in Live Stream on our Youtube page)
Our 2022 Spiritual Discernment:
Encountering the Infinite: Meeting the Divine Mother in Humanity
~ a contemplative, exploratory inquiry and discovery
July’s focus: “The Humanist Tradition”.
The human tradition has transformed our public, domestic, private and spiritual life. This is a movement of the Divine Mother in the world inasmuch as our awareness has turned to the development of health and medicine, education and development, and salvation and enlightenment.

Reverend Karen Lindquist is co-founder and co-minister of Interfaith Community Sanctuary, a spiritual community grounded in circular leadership principles. She co-creates interfaith services throughout the year at the Sanctuary and with interfaith organizations in the greater Seattle area. For many years she served as a board member on The Interfaith Council of Washington and The Interfaith Network, now known as Northwest Interfaith. Reverend Karen’s regular spiritual practices include deep immersion within the Mevlevi tradition (as a follower of Rumi) with the Mevlevi Order of America and absorption into the mystic tradition of Ecclesia Gnostica through the Hagia Sophia Gnostic Parish.
What is Interspirituality?
“Interspirituality is committed to finding the spirituality both within and beyond religion. What ties us together is a shared desire to connect with the Ground of Being in a way that fully respects our differences. The challenge is to embody what is most true and real for us without seeking to convince or convert others.” ~ Joan Borysenko
Interspirituality comes from the work of Wayne Teasdale, who developed this term to reflect commonalities between religious traditions, specifically those that are spiritual in nature. These commonalities across religious practices do not erase differences in beliefs, rather they build community and sharing across practices, leading to the ultimate goal of more human responsibility to one another and the planet as a whole. At its core, this is an “assimilation of insights, values, and spiritual practices” drawn from many different traditions that can be applied to one’s own life to further personal, spiritual development.
