FAITH BRIEFS
Intern to begin service at First Unitarian
Advertiser Staff
The First Unitarian Church is hosting its first ministerial intern, Katherine Lawson
She's doing a six-month internship at the Nu'uanu church, serving with senior minister the Rev. Mike Young. She'll be participating in committees and interfaith efforts, and will preach at occasional Sunday services.
First Unitarian had agreed to become a teaching congregation to help train new ministers by taking interns, who — along with earning a bachelor's and theological school degree and performing pastoral counseling under supervision — must get approval from the denomination's fellowship committee.
Lawson is a student at Starr King School for the Ministry, the Unitarian Universalist theological school in Berkeley, Calif.
The Interfaith Alliance will hold a panel discussion on "The Separation of Church and State: Relevance in Society Today" at 9 a.m. next Saturday at Chaminade University's Ching Conference Center, Eiben Hall, 2nd floor
The free forum will consist of a panel discussion, moderated by Bishop Yoshiaki Fujitani and assisted by Reynold Feldman as summarizer. Panelists include David Anderson, professor of religion and historical studies at Chaminade; the Rev. Kaleo Patterson; and George Tanabe, a professor of religion at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa.
Information: the Rev. Sam Cox, 779-3606.
