Peterson has sung Compline at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle since the mid-1960s, and tells the story of the history and themes of the office, woven together with reflections from his own spiritual journey. He shows how you can experience and participate in the last of the daily cycle of fixed-hour prayer, while providing a comprehensive look at this ever-popular contemplative prayer service at the end of the day.
