I love being with the people of Holy Innocents Episcopal Church in Lahaina! Their church was destroyed in the fires and they are still worshiping in a Methodist Church.

I remember the massive storms that came through at the millennium when our son was baptized at St. John's on Maui. What a blessing to be connected to this magical place. St. John's Keokea.

I heard a talk that Laurel Mathewson gave last week and remembered her visit to the Forum in the fall. I appreciate her views on St. Theresa of Avila and how they might help in our modern context.
