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!
To submit information for an upcoming event or to share photos and information on an event that has taken place, e-mail Communications.

Speaker Series at Emmanuel:
Can We End Homelessness in Hawai'i?
Colin Kippen, the Governor's Homelessness Coordinator for the State of Hawai'i, and Chair of the Interagency Council for Homelessness, will be the guest speaker at Emmanuel Episcopal Church's continuing Speaker Series. The meeting will take place on Thursday, May 8, from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, located at 780 Keolu Drive in Kailua. The event is free and open to all.
Colin believes that ending homelessness requires "all hands on deck" and that the solutions we craft must fully involve the government, the private sector, the service providers, the faith based communities, and the general public to a degree we have yet to fully achieve. Come to the meeting on May 8, to learn what is going on and how you can be part of the solution.
