LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
We acknowledge Hawaiʻi as an indigenous space whose original people are today identified as Native Hawaiians. The ‘āina on which we gather was yielded under duress and protest to the United States to avoid the bloodshed. We further recognize that generations of indigenous Hawaiians and their knowledge systems shaped Hawaiʻi in a sustainable way that allows us to enjoy her gifts today. For this we are truly grateful and yet we lament this history and injustice. We will continue to work and pray for authentic reconciliation and healing.

Hawaii is the first state legislature to call for a permanent and immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Known as the Hawaii Ceasefire Resolution, the state House and Senate approved the measure by a vote of 24–1, the Hawaii State House voted 48–3 on Monday to approve a House Draft of SCR13 as well. Thank you to all who advocated to get this resolution read and passed. Thanks be to God!
ALOHA!

LEARNING TO BE FREE
Inclusive Conversation: Why are they inclusive of their queer and trans siblings? Three diverse and distinct pastors share parts of their stories. From their upbringing, seminary training, church tradition, biblical interpretation and theological evolution.
Hear from Grace Lee, a Korean-American queer pastor from a United Methodist background. Eric Hasha, a cis-gender white male pastor with a Southern Baptist Convention background. And Moses Barrios, a cis-gender indigenous of Mayan descent and Latino Pastor deriving from Pentecostal and Evangelical roots. All together now serving in a ELCA Lutheran congregation in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
They attempt to answer questions such as: Why do we need inclusive Christian congregations? Why does the majority of Christianity still oppose the full inclusion of the LGBTI community?

ABOUT OUR HEART
As an (RIC) Reconciling in Christ Congregation, we continue to acknowledge that LGBTQIA+ discrimination occurs inside and outside the church. Therefore, we advocate for the full welcome, inclusion, equity and celebration of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. Amen for the diversity of God’s people! Learn more at RIC
As a congregation seeking racial unity and reconciliation, we continue to acknowledge the lifelong process of unpacking, processing and
rejecting the sin of white supremacy embedded within our society and the American Christian Church. We lament that Black, Brown, Asian, Pacific Islander, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) continue to pay the price of systemic racism with their lives. We pray for the image of God to be the common identity that unites us and heals us, pointing us toward justice and wholeness. Learn more at RIC

As a welcoming and sanctuary congregation, we continue to advocate for protection, dignity and justice for migrants and refugees. We pray for the travelers coming from different parts of the world, for the unaccompanied child, and the single woman, and for families traveling across dangerous paths and places. Help us God, to love them as we love ourselves, as scripture says, for they are displaced because of violence, war, poverty, hunger, and climate shocks. We reject racist policies such as ʻzero tolerance" targeting every undocumented man, woman, and child as criminals. This is unbiblical and incongruent with the language of the scriptures. We support AMMPARO, a holistic, whole church commitment by the ELCA to accompany migrants and refugees. Learn more at AMMPARO
We truly welcome
all people and celebrate
God’s diversity of humanity!
