As an interactive workshop, we look to the experiences of those who were exiled to Kalaupapa to be our wisdom teachers as we face massive crises and upheavals in our lives today. Through published sources and first-person accounts, we'll share how faith can overcome fear, how hope can lift us from despair, how painful separation can lead to joyful restoration, how bonds of oppression can be broken, and how the hard work of forgiveness can create a path to new life. Learn about the missional work of the Conference through Kana‘ana Hou-Siloama UCC in Kalaupapa, and consider how you might be involved.
Panelists:
Kahu Kalani Wong (Conference Formation Missional Team)
Rev. Dr. Roxanne WhiteLight (Keolahou Hawaiian Congregational Church)
Rev. Dr. Phyllis Meighen (Conference Formation Missional Team)
Linda Ka‘auwai-Iwamoto (Kapa‘a First Hawaiian Church)
Eleanora Cochran (Lahuiokalani Ka‘anapali Congregational Church)
