Proper 21
O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant us the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises, may become partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

From the Bishop
GUIDELINES FOR CREATING EXPERIMENTAL LITURGIES AND NEW TEXTS FOR WORSHIP IN THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF HAWAI'I
The 2018 General Convention specifically urged [in
Resolution A068] Bishops to engage “…worshiping communities in experimentation and the creation of alternative texts to offer to the wider church, and that each diocese be urged to create a liturgical commission to collect, reflect, teach and share these resources with the TFLPBR” (Task Force on Liturgical and Prayer Book Revision). The same resolution, also, “memorialize[d] the 1979 Book of Common Prayer as a Prayer Book of the church preserving the psalter, liturgies, The Lambeth Quadrilateral, Historic Documents, and Trinitarian Formularies ensuring its continued use” and affirmed that the Church would continue “to engage the deep Baptismal and Eucharistic theology and practice of the 1979 Prayer Book.” The resolution is nuanced and calls the Church to well-ordered and communal liturgical renewal. It also instructs that any liturgical revision to “utilize the riches of Holy Scripture and our Church’s liturgical, cultural, racial, generational, linguistic, gender, physical ability, class and ethnic diversity in order to share common worship.”
I appointed the Worship Task Group (The Rev. Kerith Harding, Chair; the Rev. Jasmine Hanakaulani o Kamamalu Bostock; the Rev. Brian Grieves; the Rev. Paul Lillie; Ms. Niambi Mercado; and the Rev. John A. Hau'oli Tomoso) to establish guidelines for the creation and use of such experimental liturgies, and to provide a means for their evaluation. The attached Guidelines and Evaluation Form are the fruit of their work.
I commend the Task Group for their outstanding work and I look forward to our shared exploration of liturgical possibilities in the coming months before the 2021 General Convention.
Again, to the Task Group, thank you for these guidelines and your ongoing work.
Yours faithfully,
Bob
The Right Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS -SAVE THE DATES!
EYE20 DATES & LOCATION SET
|
The next triennial Episcopal Youth Event (EYE20) will be taking place at Howard University in Washington, D.C., July 7-11. There are plans for the Hawai'i delegation to participate in mission and community service in the area for a few days following the event. More information will be coming out in the fall, and applications will be accepted at that time. The delegation is limited to 24 high school youth plus chaperones, and we anticipate that this EYE event will be more costly than in previous years due to logistics.
PASTORAL CARE TEAM NEEDED! Are you a young adult or adult (at least 19 years of age or older) who would love to support the ministry and work of the EYE20? Volunteer to serve as Dorm Crew, Event Team, or Medical Care Team. All of these roles support the ministry and work of EYE20 and are managed by the Pastoral Care Coordinators, The Rev. Shannon Kelly, The Rev. Rich Clark, and Lauren Wainwright. See the skills/gifts, qualifications, and job descriptions found in the application for more information. You cannot be a part of your diocesan delegation and volunteer for any part of the Pastoral Care Team. Click
HERE for more information and to apply. Deadline for submission is October 20, 2019.
So start gearing up! Plan your fundraisers for early 2020, and get ready for another transformative trip for our youth! For more information about EYE, visit the Episcopal Church website

Faith-based organizations ‘raise ambition’ on climate emergency after UN summit
|
In April, the world lost a 700-year-old glacier to climate change. Oceans are warming, oxygen levels are declining as ocean acidity rises, and fish are dying. At the same time, sea levels are rising and island nations are poised to disappear.
It’s alarming evidence of the climate emergency threatening all of Earth’s inhabitants.
