This issue's header photo was taken from the St. James Facebook page where members collected ice, water, batteries, toilet paper and other necessities to be distributed to those in need after Hurricane Iselle's thrashing. Continue to keep Big Island and Maui residents affected by the storm in your prayers as many are still without power and access to basic necessities.

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.

Two New Additions to the Staff of the Bishop
Aloha,
I am pleased to announce two additions to the staff of the Bishop.
Pualani Kline will be joining us as an administrative assistant. Pua is a graduate of Aiea High School and joins us after having been the administrative assistant to senior management at Profitability of Hawaii. In her new role, she will assist and otherwise help relieve office staff of clerical work and administrative and business details and will provide general administrative support to the Youth Director, Treasurer, the "Dean" of the local formation programs (Naimiloa and Waiolaihuiʻia) and other diocesan committees/commissions/task groups.
Charmaine Bernard will be joining us as Office Manager (and Property Manager). Charmaine is a graduate of Maui High School and the University of Hawaiʻi. She is currently the Adminstrator and Office Manager of our own Cathedral of St. Andrew. Once she moves upstairs, she will be responsible for organizing and coordinating office operations and procedures and carrying out a range of administrative and IT-related tasks, with the responsibility for ensuring that the office runs efficiently and effectively.
They will both be in place in by September 2. Please welcome them both into our Diocesan ʻOhana.
Mahalo,
+Bob
The Right Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick

Observing Lesser Feasts
By Bishop Robert L. Fitzpatrick
As "Ordinary" (the one entrusted with oversight of all liturgical practices) of the Diocese, I want to note three "lesser feasts" that I give permission and encourage (and in one case direct) be observed on Sundays in this Diocese.
April 6: Daniel G.C. Wu (1883-1956)
 Gee Ching Wu was asked by Deaconess Emma Drant (ministering here in Honolulu) to teach her Chinese in exchange for English lessons. According to Bishop Restarick, she is the Deaconess from Cincinnati with ties to the Proctor family and who served at the founding of St. Elizabeth's settlement house and church. At the time, 1902, the Bishop also notes that most of the Chinese at St. Elizabeth's were "Punti" speaking, while at St. Peter's, they were "Haka." Wu converted to Christianity and took the baptismal name of Daniel. Deaconess Drant moved to San Francisco in 1905 (exhausted from her work at St. Elizabeth's according to the Bishop). After the 1906 earthquake, she invited Wu to come help in mission work. He studied at CDSP and was ordained a deacon in 1912 (and a priest in 1913). He founded True Sunshine Chinese Mission and the Church of Our Savior, both in the San Francisco area. In this case, I encourage that the collect for the commemoration be used on the Sunday following April 6 in 2015 (April 12, the 2nd Sunday of Easter), in addition to the collect of the day.
September 5: Gregorio Aglipay (1860-1940)  "Holy Women, Holy Men" (revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts) commemorates the life of Gregorio Aglipay, Priest and founder of the Philippine Independent Church, on September 5 (read HERE). Because of the historic ties between many members of this Diocese to the Philippine Independent Church and of the historic connection of Bishop Kennedy to the "regularizing" of the episcopal orders of the Philippine Independent Church to make that Church full communion partners of The Episcopal Church, I encourage that, at least, the collect for the commemoration be used on Sunday, September 7, 2014, and on Sunday, September 6, 2015, in addition to the collect of the day.
November 28: Kamehameha IV (1834-1863) and Emma (1836-1885)
 The Feast of the Holy Sovereigns' (King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma) is commemorated on November 28. The diocesan-wide observance of our patrons' feast is always transferred to the Last Sunday after Pentecost (Christ the King Sunday). All congregations of this Diocese are expected to somehow commemorate the Feast of the Holy Sovereigns' on Sunday, November 23, 2014, and November 22, 2015, with the Collect and lessons for the day from "Holy Women, Holy Men"; or congregations may use the lessons appointed for the Sunday (Christ the King) with the collect of the Feast Day. I expect the Feast of the Holy Sovereigns' be somehow observed and the Collect for the Feast will be prayed in every congregation of the Diocese on the Last Sunday after Pentecost (Christ the King) every year. In addition, of course, congregations may also have other special observances on the actual Feast Day or on other Sundays, but I hope all our congregations will take special note of our diocesan patrons on that Sunday every year that we might be of one intention together as a Diocese as the Church year ends.

Joint Nominating Committee Issues Call for Discernment and Profile for
27th Episcopal Presiding Bishop
[August 13, 2014] The Episcopal Church Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop (JNCPB) has issued the Call for Discernment and Profile for the election of the 27th Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church. The Call for Discernment and Profile is located HERE. Between now and September 30, any member of The Episcopal Church may submit a name of a bishop to JNCPB whom they believe should be considered for nomination through the email listed in the Call for Discernment and Profile. JNCPB will inform bishops whose names have been presented and advise them that if they wish to engage the discernment process, they must submit their materials, as specified in the Call for Discernment and Profile, between October 1 and October 31. The JNCPB will announce its nominees in early May 2015.
According to JNCPB, the Call for Discernment and Profile is intended to paint a picture of the skills, qualities and gifts the Church seeks in its next Presiding Bishop in light of what the Church may look like in the next decade, to assist bishops, deputies and prospective nominees in discerning which bishops may be called to the ministry of Presiding Bishop and to assist JNCPB in discerning potential nominees. To assist in that process, last year the JNCPB crafted and circulated a church-wide survey. The synthesis of the more than 5,200 responses helped develop the Profile.
The JNCPB is comprised of a lay member, a priest or deacon, and a bishop elected from each of the nine provinces of the Episcopal Church, plus two youth representatives, appointed by the President of the House of Deputies, the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings. The General Convention Deputies and bishops serve a three-year term to conclude at the close of General Convention 2015 in Salt Lake City.
