Asian Episcopalians, Anglicans meet in Hawaii
When Episcopal Asiamerica Ministries — the Episcopal Church-wide ministry to and by Episcopalians of Asian descent — gathered Sept. 27 – Oct. 1 in Honolulu, Hawaii for its triennial conference, the Diocese of Los Angeles contingent, pictured above, was one of the biggest, as befits California’s large population of people of Asian descent. The consultation included Asians and people engaged in Asian ministry from the United States, Canada, England, South Korea and the Philippines, including 40 American and Canadian teenagers. The conference theme, “Piko – Celebrate Christ, Community and Creation,” came from the Hawaiian word for navel or belly button, representing interconnectivity. Seven consultations make up the Episcopal Asiamerica Ministries Council: Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, South Asian, Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander. The council operates in partnership with the Episcopal Church’s Office of Asiamerica Ministries. For more about the meeting, which focused on identifying new leadership for the future, click

Participants will gain insight into their personal worldview and develop a map for their spiritual and psychological growth and health. Kathryn Grant is a spiritual director, life coach, and certified Enneagram instructor who has been immersed in the Enneagram for nearly 25 years.
