(Salt and Light)
Reflections from the Dean
 
Almighty God, by the hand of Moses your servant you led your people out of slavery, and made them free at last: Grant that your Church, following the example of your prophet Martin Luther King, may resist oppression in the name of your love, and may secure for all your children the blessed liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.
 
This past Monday (and the preceding weekend) we celebrated the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In that context, there were a number of public events over the weekend and Monday to commemorate King's birthday. At the Cathedral we had two events on Friday the 17th , our morning Eucharist and St. Andrew's School Chapel; I was honored to participate in these worship services. The Friday morning Mass was offered in memory of Dr. King with readings and prayers (like the one used to open this article) authorized by the Episcopal Church.
 
Someone may ask why does the Church follow civic society in this practice. The reason is that at the core of his message, Dr. King promoted the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this season of the Epiphany and where we recall the scene of the Baptism of Jesus, Matthew's Gospel has the voice of God proclaiming, "This is my son, my beloved, in whom I am well pleased". As Christians we proclaim that because we are united to Christ in our baptism and accordingly we are all beloved children of God. As one attracted to Martin Kings' message of Christian social justice, I believe that the following three points are the foundation of our commitment:
 
1) Everyone is a beloved child of God
2) Not everyone believes that he or she is a beloved child of God
3) Not everyone is treated as a beloved child of God
 
This reality is that far too many people in our nation, our state and our community are not treated as beloved children of God. Today's crisis of economic inequality is based upon a reality that exists in Hawaii and many other sections of the United States. As a priest in Maui recently shared with me, the cost of living is investment banker prices and hospitality worker wages. Dr. King in his letter from the Birmingham City Jail states that the story of the "Good Samaritan" teaches us to be engaged in works of mercy and service to the poor and the neglected in society. But King also said that the story challenges us to examine why there are Jericho Roads, and then to reconstruct edifices that eliminate such conditions.
 
The challenge for us today is to follow Martin King's example. To be more specific, I believe the most important feature of this Christian martyr's life is his relationship with God that undergirded his courage and commitment to justice, freedom, peace and love. To understand that relationship, we go back to 1957 when King received a late night, vicious telephone threat. Alone in his kitchen, he made a pot of coffee, sat at the kitchen table, prayed and wept. King asked for God's support and guidance amid the doubts and difficulties he was facing. Martin relates that he heard the Lord speaking to him and saying, "Martin Luther King, you are doing the right thing - stand up, stand up for righteousness, stand up for justice, and promising never to leave him alone-No, never alone." King refers to his vision as his "Kitchen Table, Mountain-top Experience."
 
This experience shaped the remainder of King's life and ministry. It was why he could embrace the words of The Rev. Theodore Parker (a 19th Century Unitarian Minister from New England) "the Arc of the Moral Universe is long, but it bends towards Justice". Those words gave hope to King and many others during the long stride toward freedom, and they should encourage us to do the same.

Sundays at the Cathedral

Think of it this way: Emmaus Journey is like the church's porch for those seeking and searching for meaning, faith, and belonging. The porch is an extended time of hospitality-a safe place for questions to be asked, stories told, relationships built and instruction to be given. Seekers, baptized or not, new to the cathedral or searching members, can rock with us on the porch as we journey together. We gather for the 10:30 Sunday liturgy and then after the sermon, when dismissed, we go to the Priory School Activity Room (about 11:10am). We will conclude about noon. For more information contact Dan Benedict (daniel.benedict@thecathedralofstandrew.org) or John Condrey (john.condrey@thecathedralofstandrew.org).

If you know someone who is questioning and searching or you are questing for faith and God, then come rock with us! 

We are happy to welcome back Eric Banaticla, our Sexton.  He was with us last year for about eight months.  He returned to the Cathedral January 1, 2014.  He is always willing to help whenever he can and is happy to be back with us. 

Saturday, 8 February 7 pm - 11 pm
Tenney Theatre 

Girlfest Hawaii, Justice & Outreach of St. Andrew's Cathedral, and MamaWisdom1 present  

Underground Voices Transforming Unnatural Disaster  

On Saturday, February 8th from 7P to 11P at Tenney Theater of St. Andrew's Cathedral (229 Queen Emma Sq. Honolulu, HI), the dynamic, Brooklyn-based female duo CLIMBING POETREE will grace the stage with their award-winning multimedia production of HURRICANE SEASON. Selected for a month-long run at the world renowned National Black Theater in Harlem with sold-out shows, HURRICANE SEASON is a two woman show that interweaves powerful spoken word poetry, stunning visuals, animation, and a sound collage of music and testimonials to bring forth renewed hope in the face of worldwide globalization. HURRICANE SEASON connects the issues that surfaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the "unnatural disasters" that disenfranchised communities are experiencing nationwide and worldwide on a daily basis. HURRICANE SEASON tackles global warming, environmental injustice, policing, prisons, militarization, corporate domination, gentrification, and displacement as they manifest from one gulf to another, with a powerful tale of resistance, resilience, creativity and survival.

Oahu will experience a special version of HURRICANE SEASON entitled: "Underground Voices TRANSFORMING Unnatural Disaster", localizing the general theme of the event by integrating local poets and musical guests to address the cross-pollination of "unnatural disasters" amongst Oahu's Hawaiian and Pacific Islander immigrant communities. Hawaii's Own include: Singer and Cultural Ambassador - PAULA FUGA; Slam Poetry Group - PACIFIC TONGUES (a.k.a. Youth Speaks Hawaii); and DJ/Emcee/Youth Mentor - SEPH1. The evening will also weave in Climbing Poetree's special musical guests, LEAH SONG & BIKO of the Atlanta-based music group RISING APPALACHIA. 

Jan. 26 Work Day - Due to the St Peter's Annual Meeting scheduled for this morning, we will be spending the entire Godly Play time in community building 'work time,' during which the children may chose to create, explore or serve in the maintenance of the Godly Play room and supplies.  The Parable of the Good Samaritan will be shared on Feb. 2

Feb. 2 Parable of the Good Samaritan - Parables are the closest thing we have to the actual words of Jesus. We treat these stories with great respect and wonder. Today we heard the story of the Good Samaritan. Why would a man whose people (the Samaritans) was part of a culture with a great deal of distrust and enmity toward the Jews (who felt the same about the Samaritans) would stop and help (and really care with his time, money and concern) when a priest and Levite (both thought to be devout Jews) crossed to the other side of the road and passed by).  

Chrism Mass and Education Day is open to all Clergy and Lay people.
