Editor's note: The following from Bishop Robert Fitzpatrick is with regard to a "Message" that was adopted by the House of Bishops during their September 20, 2019, business meeting. Click on the linked button at the end to read "A Message of Love and Solidarity from the Bishops and Spouses to The Episcopal Church."
|
September 30, 2019
Aloha my Siblings in Christ Jesus,
I write to share the following “Message” with you from the recent meeting of the
House of Bishops. I also write to let you know that Bea and I have decided to attend and fully participate in the
Lambeth Conference 2020. I think it important to share with you our reasons.
I voted for the “Message.” I regret that the
Archbishop of Canterbury failed to issue invitations to select spouses. Bishop Mary Glasspool is in my Bishops’ Colleague Group. Mary and Becky are regularly part of our lives. I interviewed the Bishop-elect of Michigan, the Reverend Bonnie Perry, for a position in this Diocese (she had to withdraw because of illness). The exclusion of three spouses from the Episcopal Church and one from the Anglican Church in Canada is hurtful.
I learned at the 2008 Lambeth Conference that our presence made a difference. In 2008, Bishop Gene Robinson was not invited to attend. This year, all Bishops have been invited, which is an improvement. More importantly, the Bishops of the Episcopal Church offered witness to both inclusion and ongoing dialogue. I was interviewed on the radio in Manchester, and afterward, I was embraced by the interviewer for speaking to and for a Church that could include him. We were able to advocate for basic civil protections for LGBTQ people around the world. The spouses engaged one another and the unofficial stories were shared. Our presence was important.
Why were the spouses invited? Why were spouses invited at all? Invitations to the Lambeth Conference are issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury. While the Lambeth Conference is considered an “Instrument of Unity” in the Anglican Communion, it has no legislative or canonical authority over The Episcopal Church. Such authority rests only in the General Convention. The Archbishop of Canterbury also has no official or canonical authority in The Episcopal Church. The Archbishop is given “honorary” precedence because of history. So, the current Archbishop, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, decided who would be invited to this important “symbolic” gathering.
At a meeting I attended in Fiji in 2018, the Archbishop explained that he was inviting Bishops’ spouses because of the role expected of them by culture in many parts of the world. He also noted that in many places, the “wives” had to take on leadership roles and to provide support for the Bishop and Diocese in ways for which they were ill prepared. He further asserted that he wanted to give such spouses the opportunity to grow in their ministries as well. He also decided that he would invite all Bishops, but that by excluding a few spouses, more Bishops would attend. We will see if his reasoning holds.
In the end, for me, not attending would limit the voices at the table. The Episcopal Church in Hawai‘i has deep roots in the
Anglican Communion. At the first Lambeth Conferences, our Bishops attended on behalf of a national Hawaiian Church. Our ties to the Churches in Japan (especially Okinawa), the Philippines, Polynesia and Aotearoa are particularly close. We understand what it means to live in a global community. This Diocese is known for its support for LGBTQ people. We must be present to engage about climate change, income inequality, war, and violence against women, children and LGBTQ persons. In the face of injustice, we still must listen and be the voice of the voiceless. Others in the Anglican Communion need us to be there and we need to hear from them.
Lastly, personally, having Bea present offers new insights into the Conference. My sense is that the spouses can often be more honest with one another than the Bishops. Frankly, my experience in Africa and Oceania suggests that the Archbishop is correct about the expectations of spouses in the developing world. Bea offers a gentle persuasive presence that makes sense of the inclusion expected. Sharing across differences really does change the world.
So, we have decided to attend and fully participate. Yes, I think it can make a difference for others. There will be opportunities to speak to hurt and injustice. Our life in this finite and broken world is to live toward God’s realm of justice, peace and love. I am convinced that staying away limits the possibilities for change, Thank you for your prayers for the Lambeth Conference, The Episcopal Church, and Bea and me.
Aloha ma o Iesu Kristo, ko mākou Haku,
+Bob
The Right Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick

***** CHURCH EVENT HIGHLIGHT *****

Churches around the Diocese have been known to hold some elaborate and very successful fundraisers, but for Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Kailua, their Chocolate Extravaganza "takes the cake!"

It is a hugely popular and highly anticipated event that even offers a sell-out VIP pre-event reception. Not only is it well known for the flowing chocolate, but the incredible silent auction that has featured vacations, lots of restaurant certificates, artwork, jewelry, spa treatments, and even an autographed football from Marcus Mariota!

DID YOU KNOW?
Seeking Pictures of Church Fonts
|
Did you know that our retired clergy and their spouses are remembered and lovingly cared for by the Rev. Cn. Frank and Norma Chun? If you are retired, you know well! On top of organizing gatherings, making home and hospital visits, and sending out a retired clergy newsletter, the Chuns send out birthday greetings and other pastoral notes. The notecards change each year and feature our churches in the Diocese, whether it's their stained glass windows, bells, or crosses. For 2020, Norma came up with the idea of featuring the church fonts! If you would like to submit a photo of your church font and hopefully make it onto the 2020 card, please send your digital file to news@episcopalhawaii.org, by December 1. Happy clicking!

Presiding Bishop fields faith questions from Reddit users in ‘Ask Me Anything’ session
|
He may have preached at a royal wedding, but he’s never committed himself to answering whatever questions the users of the social network Reddit might throw at him – until now.
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry spent the afternoon of October 10 participating in his first “Ask Me Anything,” a popular Reddit feature that goes by the shorthand AMA. The idea behind the AMA session is for a person of some renown or import – from Bill Gates to a local TV weatherman – to mingle with the average Reddit user and take any and all questions. Curry’s AMA can be found on the
r/Christianity subreddit.

Episcopal leaders condemn Trump administration’s moves to ‘further dismantle’ refugee program
|
The Episcopal Church condemned the Trump administration’s decision, announced September 26, to further slash the number of refugees to be resettled in the United States to a historic low of just 18,000 – a move that threatens to cripple the ability of Episcopal Migration Ministries and other agencies to maintain the United States’ decades-old policy of welcoming those in need from around the world.
