Sunday, October 29, 2017 3:00pm
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther placed 95 theses or propositions questioning the Church’s use of indulgences on the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany. That act is considered the “flash point” for the Protestant Reformation. The 500th anniversary observance is an opportunity for Christians of many denominations to pray for each other; to heal old wounds; and to continue along the path of encounter and dialogue.
During this commemoration, ARCHBISHOP J. PETER SARTAIN, Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle, will be joined by BISHOP KIRBY UNTI, leader of the Northwest Washington Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
St. James Cathedral is located at 9th & Marion on First Hill, downtown Seattle.

We are the cathedral for the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle and its Archbishop, The Most Reverend J. Peter Sartain. We are also a parish church for a vibrant faith community with a long history that reaches back to Seattle’s early days. We are an inner-city parish with an outreach to many who live on the edge of poverty and loneliness. We are a diverse community that welcomes, accepts, and celebrates the differences we all bring. We exist in the heart of the city, yet sometimes our parishioners come from considerable distances to worship here. St. James Cathedral is a crossroads where ideas and challenges both old and new are explored in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our cathedral is also the center for many cultural and ecumenical events which both reflect and help to shape the fabric of a vital metropolitan community. Above all, St. James Cathedral is a community of prayer.
