The Forum with Maggi Dawn

Grace Cathedral, San Francisco

Author, professor, and priest Maggi Dawn has written two guides to the church year: Beginnings and Endings (and what happens in between): Daily Bible readings from Advent to Epiphany and Giving It Up: Daily Bible Readings from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day.

Our everyday lives are full of small-scale beginnings and endings – births, deaths, marriages, careers, house moves and so on. How do the grand-scale beginnings and endings of Advent help to guide us as we seek to follow Jesus in the 21st century?

The idea of 'giving something up for Lent' is widely known, but how many know that the ancient discipline of the Lenten fast had several purposes? – a reminder of our daily dependence on God for all our needs, to draw us closer to God in prayer, to reconnect with the idea of community, and to help us follow Christ's journey through the wilderness and on to Jerusalem.

Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Dawn about how Lent can be a time for exploring a different kind of 'giving up' – one that can transform our lives – and how ancient wisdom informs the human experience that happens inbetween beginnings and endings, grand and small scale.

Recorded at Grace Cathedral on February 8, 2026.

The Forum with David Richo

Grace Cathedral, San Francisco

When you feel you have been wronged, the urge to retaliate can feel overwhelming and justified. In the groundbreaking work Sweeter Than Revenge: Overcoming Your Payback Mind, acclaimed author and psychotherapist David Richo explores the complex dynamics of retaliation, offering profound insights into why we seek revenge and practices to help us break free from this destructive cycle.

Drawing from psychology, principles of emotional intelligence, Christian and Buddhist teachings, and years of therapeutic expertise, Richo illuminates the web of emotions and triggers that drive retaliatory behavior. He challenges readers to examine their own patterns of retaliation and provides practical tools for responding to conflict with wisdom rather than reactivity. Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Richo about how to transform vengeful impulses into opportunities for growth and healing.

Every year since 2012, we have offered a residency to artists to create work illuminating the cathedral's vision and annual theme and reimagining church as they do so. Our 2025 Artist in Residence, for our Year of the Future, is composer, DJ, and curator Mason Bates.

Mason Bates is imaginatively transforming the way classical music is created and experienced. He is the composer of the Grammy-winning opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, which San Francisco Opera presented last year, and most recently The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which premiered at the Metropolitan Opera last month. Named as the most-performed composer of his generation, Mason is a visible advocate for the modern orchestra, and imaginatively integrates it into contemporary culture.

Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Bates about composing, his unique integration of electronic sounds into his work, the spectacular events he curates, and his residency with us.

Watch: Mason Bates On Composition

Mason Bates – composer, DJ, and curator – is imaginatively transforming the way classical music is created and experienced. He is the composer of the Grammy-winning opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, and with electro-acoustic works such as Mothership and the animated film Philharmonia Fantastique, Bates has become a visible advocate for the modern orchestra and imaginatively integrates it into contemporary culture. Named as the most-performed composer of his generation, his symphonic music is the first to receive widespread acceptance for its unique integration of electronic sounds. Highly informed by his work as a DJ, his curatorial approach integrates adventurous music, ambient information, and social platforms in a fluid and immersive way. His SF-based nonprofit Mercury Soul creates spectacular events in iconic spaces, such as at Grace Cathedral. Raised in Virginia, Bates' first musical experiences occurred as a choirboy at St. Christopher's School.

At age twenty-one, the pain of losing her mother to cancer sent Laurel Mathewson—with a naturally skeptical and questioning outlook—on a years-long existential journey. Laurel began to read The Interior Castle, Saint Teresa of Ávila's book about the "dwellings" within our souls that we move through to develop an ever-deepening relationship with God through prayer.

In An Intimate Good: A skeptical Christian mystic in conversation with Teresa of Ávila, a beautifully written and moving memoir, she illustrates an ancient reality still very much alive today: the love and closeness of a good God, as known through Jesus Christ, who seeks to move out into the world, into our very bodies and lives. Not by nature or training inclined to believe such a wild claim, Laurel discovered that God is full of surprises.

Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Mathewson about bringing to life the complex frameworks and ideas of The Interior Castle and also the living God who is at the heart of it.

Born and raised in Oregon, Laurel Mathewson developed a deep love for nature, rural life, and social justice. At Stanford, she discovered her intellectual passion in the intersections of literature and landscape, faith and politics, and social transformation. After losing her mother to cancer at 21, she pursued careers in academia, media (as an editorial assistant at Sojourners in Washington, D.C.), and ministry. She eventually became an Episcopal priest, serving at St. Luke's, a vibrant multicultural church in San Diego. During her time there she's written award-winning pieces for Sojourners, Geez, and The Christian Century. She is also the editor of The Interior Castle: Exploring a Spiritual Classic as a Modern Reader.

San Francisco is home to some of the nation's most important and forward-thinking arts institutions. What is their role in shaping a city in the process of revitalization?
