“Seattle” may evoke for older Americans a yacht harbor and a 1993 movie directed by the late Rob Reiner, starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. For a strong contingent of Sudanese Christians resettled in the Diocese of Olympia, however, Seattle has become home. Christmas Day saw Vicar Mary Bol of St. Michael’s South Sudanese Episcopal Church gather 130 worshippers to celebrate this most holy day.
