O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son
revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that
we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be
strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his
likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

What's the Difference between the E-News and E-Chronicle?
The E-News comes out twice a month, usually the closest business day to the 1st and 16th. It contains announcements for upcoming events and other important information that needs to get out.
The E-Chronicle, on the other hand, has less urgency. It comes out every other month, and reports on events that have already taken place. It may also feature special interest stories and reflections from folks around the Diocese.
We're here to help you spread the word about any events you have coming up (E-News), and also sharing the results with others in the Diocese (E-Chronicle). Send over your fliers, notices, photos and stories... you never know whose life you could impact or inspire!

An Ash Wednesday Reflection
By Bishop Robert L. Fitzpatrick
Aloha e Akua,
Lent begins on Wednesday, March 5th. I find the Ash Wednesday liturgy most disconcerting. It is not the recitation of the 51st Psalm (BCP, p. 266) or the wonderful Litany of Penitence (BCP, p. 267). No, it is literally the imposition of ashes in logical contradiction to the Gospel lesson for the day (Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21). In the lesson, Jesus Christ teaches, "Be careful not to parade your religion before others; if you do, no reward awaits you with your Father in heaven.... So too when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.... But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so no one sees that you are fasting...." During worship, this lesson is read and then soon after the sermon, the people are invited forward for the imposition of ashes.
The imposition of ashes developed in the Church in imitation of the practice of the use of sack and ashes by penitents. The practice of imposing ashes on Ash Wednesday dates from at least the eighth century in the Church. Some have suggested that the practice began as spreading of ashes on the heads of the faithful with crosses being marked on the tonsures of monastics. Perhaps the marking of the cross on the forehead with ash emerged as an imitation of the sealing with Chrism (blessed oil) at Baptism. The Book of Common Prayer, 1979 (the current "official" Prayer Book of The Episcopal Church), is the first American Episcopal Prayer Book to include the imposition of ashes as a "norm." Previous Prayer Books often did observe Ash Wednesday with a penitential liturgy, but there was no mention of ashes (though throughout the 20th century, their use became more common with liturgical renewal in our Church).
This is a question of humility and humanity. It seems to me that the teaching of Christ from Matthew points to the meaning of liturgical practice and personal piety. Confession, daily prayers, praying the rosary, observing Feast and Fast days by attending worship, daily Bible study and, most importantly, going to Church every Sunday and taking Holy Communion, are means of understanding our humanity - sinful and yet loved by God - and being brought into relationship with God. We do them to place ourselves in the right context and frame of mind to be open to God. It is all about God and not about us.
And, so what about ashes on Ash Wednesday? There seems to be four options on Ash Wednesday:
- Just don't go up to receive the ashes when invited to do so.
- Go forward to receive the imposition of ashes and then wash them off right after the liturgy.
- Go forward and don't wipe them off.
- Go forward and bow your head so that the priest sprinkles the ashes on your head like the water at Baptism (the ashes are imposed, but no one will know).
I find the fourth option the most edifying spiritually - though be sure to warn the priest before going forward and lowering your head. All four are faithful choices - even the first one. The question for the believer is one's relationship with God and how one best connects with the reality of one's own humanity, finitude, brokenness and sinfulness. The ashes and the confession are tools in our spiritual knapsack on the pilgrimage of life. You need to discern what is best for your journey to Easter this year. READ MORE...

'Iolani Guild Spring Luncheon
The 'Iolani Guild will host its Spring Luncheon meeting on Saturday, March 8, from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, in the Von Holt Room of The Cathedral of St. Andrew.
Following a business meeting, there will be a potluck luncheon. Please bring a dish to share.
Kahu Kaleo Patterson and Kala Holden will offer a presentation on Ho'oponopono from their years of facilitating this traditional Hawaiian cultural practice. Reverend Kaleo has taught Ho'oponopono for 12 years at the University of Hawai'i and in the prison system.
Kupuna Kala has practiced Ho'oponopono at Hina Mauka helping people overcome their substance abuse. "Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian way of attaining healing and well-being," says Holden, "It is actually more than healing and well-being. It is truly all about making everything 'very, very right'." Holden adds, "Now is our chance to move past merely having heard the term 'Ho'oponopono' or only a snippet of knowledge, to a fuller understanding of this important Hawaiian cultural practice."
For more information, please e-mail Ann Hansen. __________________________________ |

Currently in the Masters program at The Juilliard School studying under Paul Jacobs, Mr. Hey is a full-tuition recipient of the Alice Tully, the Bidu Sayao, The Noble Foundation, and the Juilliard Organ scholarships.

Deadline for Website Switch Approaching
On Monday, March 31, 2014, the Diocese will be ending its contract with Digital Faith, its web hosting company for the past two years. Since January of this year, the Diocese has had a new website host provider called Weebly.
For those churches that had a website through the Diocese with Digital Faith, your website will become inactive after March 31, unless you have negotiated a new contract directly with Digital Faith. Churches were sent a notice in January ( Special Announcment January 14, 2014) with the details of the switch, and were offered the opportunity to switch to the new host provider--- and it's not too late! Their user-friendly tools make it easy for most anyone in your church to maintain a website even if they have had little or no experience with websites before.
The Diocese will continue to provide a church website at no charge to the church through this new web host. Over a dozen churches have already switched or are in the process of launching their new websites built at no charge by the Communications Contractor. Even if you did not have a Digital Faith website but would like to consider switching or starting a new one, e-mail Sybil Nishioka. She is available to help design and build your website so that you can easily maintain it once it is launched.

Presiding Bishop's Lent Message 2014
The reality is that the season of Lent, which Christians have practiced for so many centuries, is about the same kind of yearning for greater light in the world, whether you live in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere. The word "Lent" means "lengthen" and it's about the days getting longer. The early Church began to practice a season of preparation for those who would be baptized at Easter, and before too long other members of the Christian community joined those candidates for baptism as an act of solidarity. It was a season during which Christians and future Christians learned about the disciplines of the faith - prayer and study and fasting and giving alms, sharing what they have. But the reality is that, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, the lengthening days were often times of famine and hunger, when people had used up their winter food stores and the spring had not yet produced more food to feed people. Acting in solidarity with those who go hungry is a piece of what it means to be a Christian. To be a follower of Jesus is to seek the healing of the whole world. And Lent is a time when we practice those disciplines as acts of solidarity with the broken and hungry and ill and despised parts of the world. I would invite you this Lent to think about your Lenten practice as an exercise in solidarity with all that is - with other human beings and with all of creation. That is most fundamentally what Jesus is about. He is about healing and restoring that broken world. So as you enter Lent, consider how you will live in solidarity with those who are hungry, or broken, or ill in one way or another. May you have a blessed Lent this year, and may it yield greater light in the world. The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori Presiding Bishop and Primate The Episcopal Church __________________________________
