Gratitude
Though it has been more than three decades since he left this world, on this Dec 18, his birthday, my siblings and I are reminded once again of how my father’s life continues to resonate and endure. We are reminded by strangers writing to inquire about one of his books. By childhood friends who remember visits to our home. They recall his voice, his presence. Intimidating to some, but unfailingly…

Getting to the Peaceable Kingdom
Getting to the Peaceable Kingdom
Guest Post by Rev. David Gierlach A look back at the Second Sunday of Advent, as we celebrate the Third. Isaiah 11:1-10Romans 15:4-13Matthew 3:1-12Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19 Today’s readings begin with a beautiful vision of the peaceable kingdom. A time when all of creation will be happy with each other. As man-eating lions turn to dining on straw, while poisonous snakes become the playthings of…

Hope
“We are never on our own; we are anchored in each other. We do not let go of each other.” In this season of Thanksgiving, and as we begin the season of Advent, against a landscape of too much pain in too many places, listening to the Rev. Dr. Allan Boesak is helpful to gathering our energies for the work that makes hope possible. Republished here with the permission of Hui Aloha `o Maui…

Democracy faces a crisis in Hawai‘i
Please tell anyone you know who did not vote in the Primary to please show up for the General. And for all future elections. We need change. Desperately. Vote By Mail could not be easier.
First published in the Honolulu Star Advertiser 8/24/2022. Republished here with permission. Our democracy is in crisis. No, not just on the continent. The crisis is here in Hawai‘i: more than half a million registered voters did not feel motivated to mark their ballots, stick it into a postage-paid envelope, and drop it in the mail. Yet at least one pundit called it a “pretty normal…

HI PRIMARY 2022: It's here!
Drop off your vote TODAY! And help someone else do the same. Hawaii needs you.
Have you voted? There’s still time to drop off your ballot. Know someone who wants to vote but isn’t registered? No problem: Hawai’i has same-day registration. Fed-up with the status quo? Voting in new people who have demonstrated a commitment to shake things up is one way to overcome our anger and frustration at the many challenges we face and the abysmal way many of those who have been in…

Sergio Alcubilla: A REAL Democrat to represent Hawaii's CD1--Look at who is endorsing him!
Sergio Alcubilla: A REAL Democrat to represent Hawaii’s CD1–Look at who is endorsing him!
We are all busy–sometimes busier than we should be. And we don’t always have the time to research candidates running for office as well as we should. But in the case of Sergio Alcubilla who is challenging the incumbent Blue Dog, we can let ourselves be guided by others who have done their homework. Several organizations representing workers from many different sectors of our economy have taken…

I AM FURIOUS First published at https://www.aaiusa.org/ Reblogged with permission The killing of Shireen Abu Akleh has left me furious. Furious that a wonderful woman journalist has been taken from the world. Furious because of the predictable way Israel has responded to this tragedy. And furious at the US for its failure to take a principled stand to ensure that the truth is known about…

“Look, identify, ask”–and take action
First published in the Honolulu Star Advertiser 3/9/2022. Republished here with permission. Nationally, there is the unembarrassed undermining of democracy in this country by the Republicans, an old, but no longer grand party, unwilling to denounce the indecencies of their leaders — and followers. Locally, not a peep out of Hawaiʻi Republicans as their national organization described the…

Guest Post: ‘Pro-life’ Catholic schools should mandate children wear masks in the classroom
Reblogging this because @HBGDiocese is once again putting students, staff, & faculty (incl. my daughter’s husband) at risk by going “mask optional” DURING this #omicron surge. How is this “PRO-LIFE” we have to ask?

Guest Post: Endings and Unveilings
For all who yearn for words from the pulpit that speak to our times: This sermon is published with the kind permission of Rev. David Gierlach, Rector of St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church, Honolulu. Today Jesus brings his closest friends in close to talk about the apocalypse.For many, “apocalypse” refers to “endings.” And it’s particularly appropriate that Jesus focuses on endings today. Because…

Cooking up a storm--and remembering my mother
Cooking up a storm–and remembering my mother
Gladys Morais May 8, 1923 – Nov 8, 2015 We just celebrated All Saints’ Day and Advent is around the corner. A good time to be thinking of my beloved mother who left us for the stars on Nov 8, 2015. It’s been six years, but it feels like she has never left my side. Especially when I am in my kitchen. I find myself thinking about the conversations we had about how to bake or ice a cake or make a…

A conversation about faith and community drawn from Value of Hawaiʻi 3: Hulihia

David Turner on Friday September 10, 2021, in this time of loss to gather our thoughts and our energies to take a fresh look at our faiths and consider our future. Your thoughts as you listen to this conversation are most welcome. There is much we–the…
