General Convention Update




Through the lens of the ministry of environmental justice, the 81st General Convention was remarkable for the number of Creation Care initiatives and how many people spoke in support of green initiatives. A newly formed Green Caucus brought folks together from across the church to talk about how we as a church can meet the challenges of climate change and environmental justice. The Green Caucus meets monthly to share information and encourage one another in our work to care for Godʻs beautiful masterpiece. If you are interested in joining the Green Caucus, you can find them on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556013429896

or can email their leader, Emily Hopkins emilyhopkins4@gmail.com


On the first day of GC81 the Green Caucus gathered with the Green Bishops to share lunch. We were greeted by Dame Dr. Jane Goodall in a video address: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TQy4nViBRnkIcE2mu3vIIB8REMBmpczm/view?usp=drive_link


Dr. Goodall encouraged us as religious leaders to share the message of loving our neighbors, including Godʻs other-than-human creatures. She also encouraged us to bring a message of hope to our congregations, highlighting the resilience of nature, the amazing human ability to solve problems using technology, and the energy and commitment of young people who are empowered to take action. She encouraged each of us to know we can make an impact in small ways every day, that when gathered all together have a cumulative effect.

In the coming weeks, Banyan Tree will be covering other resolutions that impact Hawai'i.

Aloha everyone! I am excited to join the Holy Nativity School team, and look forward to working with our Property Manager "Uncle" Skye to maintain this special school and church for our keiki

I was born and raised in Niu Valley, and attended Punahou School (‘01) and Oregon State University (‘06). I'm also a Fire Fighter + EMT with the City and County of Honolulu, and Dad to [HNS students] Brinley (Kindergarten) and River (3 years old). 


I enjoy spending time with my family, surfing and fishing, and look forward to a wonderful year with you all!
