Unitarians will take to the street
Advertiser Staff
Members of First Unitarian Church of Honolulu are walking the streets of downtown Honolulu today in what's being billed as a "street retreat."
The idea: to see, firsthand, what life is like on the street. They'll be easy to spot: Participants will be wearing fools hats.
First Unitarian Intern Minister Laura Friedman leads the street retreat, which concludes with a program at 4 p.m. at Harris United Methodist Church.
