Interim Rector's Ramblings
READING THE BIBLE TODAY
There are many different ways to read the Bible and to consume the Word of God. Some ways of reading the bible include biblical scholarly study,
lectio divina, (a Benedictine practice in which you slowly read the passage and then meditate, pray and contemplate it), Ignatian contemplation which uses imagination to enter the story, and African bible study (a structured way in which a group can share their reflections on the passage).
Another way is to simply let God's Word sink into our souls and into our consciousness. The next time you hear something meaningful to you read from scripture in church, or you come across something in your own reading of the Bible, pull out just a phrase or a sentence, and try reading it until you have learned it by heart. Keep it short! Formulate it into your own meditation for the week, just repeating the phrase. Use it to calm yourself when you find your temper growing short. Offer it up as a response to the worries and anxieties that come looking for you. Speak it as a prayer of thanksgiving when something good happens.
The point is to make any of these practices a daily practice. It is how we enter the heart and mind of God. There is a great line in the movie, Shadowlands, when a friend asks C.S. Lewis how he intends for his prayer to change God's mind. In the movie, C.S. Lewis responds, "Oh, I don't pray in order to change God's mind. I pray so that God can change me."
And so, in that spirit, the Spirit of God changing us, we pray.
I wish you all holy reading.
Canon Kate+

The Church of the Holy Nativity has selected Chris Suzuki as our new Choir Director. Chris' first Sunday with us will be Easter Sunday. Chris studied at the University of Hawai'I at Manoa and has completed a Bachelor's Degree in Music with a minor in Business Administration. Chris has sang professionally with the Lutheran Church of Honolulu and St. Andrew's Cathedral.
Our Vestry has approved the appointment and is joined by many, many others of us in welcoming our choir back to its calling. Music is an important part of our worship tradition, supplementing spoken words and symbolic actions. Music stirs us and provides another dimension to our expression of our love of God.
Because we spent many months searching for our new choir director before having success, we invite you to acknowledge our good fortune by making a "budget-relieving" gift to support our music program. You may write a check to the Church of the Holy Nativity and note Music on the memo line. Mahalo.
