An Inclusive and Caring Christian Community Vol.83, No.6 June 2012
From Reverend MichaelFrom Reverend MichaelFrom Reverend MichaelFrom Reverend Michael
Since the first Sunday after Easter, our Sunday
morning bulletin covers have presented the Icon of the Holy Trinity (below) written by Andre
Rublev, making good use of our color copier to
provide this image as part of our worship
experience. (Icons are written, not painted.)
Icons are not merely a decoration, they are
windows to the reality of the Holy. The Icon of
the Trinity, as noted in our bulletin, is a fitting image for
contemplation at St. Clement’s because we identify ourselves as a
“welcoming” congregation with “generous hospitality.” In this
famous icon, the Holy Trinity is shown as guests (strangers) waited
upon by Abraham and Sarah, and is often called the Philoxenia
(translated “love for strangers”) of Abraham because Christians have
long held that the Trinity is prefigured in this story of Abraham’s
encounter by the Oaks of Mamre (Genesis 18:1-15).
Do we at St. Clement’s practice love for strangers? Do we love
strangers in a generic or theoretical way, such as with groups we
want to feel included in the life of the church? Do we love strangers
in a particular way, such as individuals who drive us bonkers? The
answer to these questions has less to do with our concept of having
visitors at church than about the time we take with, and the gestures
we offer to, those who do visit – and those we have neglected to
invite. At coffee hour, do we spend more time talking to someone
we know, or someone we don’t? Do we invite people to join us on
the pew next to us, or settle for the most distant point from others
around us? Jesus moved close, and invited others to move to close
to him. He taught us that we had the ability to do these things
ourselves. Jesus also taught that by doing so, we were participating
in the Reign of God.
Being a welcoming congregation takes intentionality. It is not the
work of just a few, like designated greeters (for whose work we are
grateful!). It is work that is intrinsic to our baptismal vows: to seek
and serve Christ in each person, to respect the dignity of all persons.
This is difficult work, because strangers can make us feel
uncomfortable. We are often taught to distrust
strangers, we learn to ignore them, or we may not
want to make small talk with them long enough to
really get to know them. Sharing the kindness that
we extend to our friends at church with those who
have not yet become our friends not only signifies
our openness to Christ’s work in our lives, it is a
practice that opens our hearts to experiencing God’s
powerful love, joy, and peace.
Joan Chittister, a well-known spiritual author in the
Benedictine tradition, writes that hospitality says to a
stranger, “Come right in and disturb our perfect lives.
You are Christ for us today.” (The Rule of Benedict:
Insights for the Ages, 2006). The Archbishop of
Santiago de Compostela wrote that hospitality to
pilgrims involves not only outward gestures of
welcome, but giving them our time, letting them
share their lives with us, and accepting strangers as
they are; “This disarranges our life,” he says (Juilián
Barrio Barrio, Pilgrims Through Grace, 2004).
The Trinity, as interpreted through the hospitality of
Abraham, transforms masters into servants, strangers
into friends, fear
into joy, and
hostility into peace.
Take some time to
peer into this icon
and allow it to peer
back into you,
expanding your
h e a r t f o r
compassion and
filling it with love.
In Christ,
Michael B+

Sunday Evening Prayer - 5:00 pm
Beginning in June, we will offer the evening office (Evening
Prayer, Rite II) weekly on Sundays at 5:00 pm. One service a
month will feature sacred music and hymns (“Evensong”).
This summer we will have a variety of Sunday morning Adult
Formation offerings this summer. Please join us at 8:45 for
some interesting discussions.
June 3 Kathleen Norris on the Desert Mothers (see article
below).
June 17 Liz Baldwin on her ministry to the families of
deployed military personnel.
July 1 Stuart Coleman on the ocean as a garbage dump
and the movement toward eco-spirituality,
morality, and religion.
July 15 Hilary Gangnes on faith and the justice system.
July 29 Michael Barham+ on the pilgrimage to Santiago de
Compestela.
August 5 Nellie McLaughlin and Beth Fincke on the 115
years of the Parish of St. Clement.
On those Sundays when there is not a special presentation,
there will be a video presentation and discussion to follow.
We’ll be using The Skit Guys, Vicar of Dibley, and other timely
and challenging and maybe even funny videos. The discussions
are always good and lively and fascinating! A great place to be
on your spiritual and faith journeys!
MEETING THE DESERT MOTHERS: Week one of our
summer adult formation series (June 3) features Kathleen
Norris speaking on the 'desert mothers.' Kathleen will present
some of the thought-provoking sayings of the “desert mothers,”
Christian holy women of the 4th and 5th centuries who lived in
Egypt and Syria. She will also talk about the monastic
movement which had a strong influence on the early church.
She will share stories of contemporary Christian women whose
faith has been tempered by “desert” experiences of illness,
loneliness, and loss. Kathleen hopes that people will be
prompted to think of the wise women in their own lives who
have been spiritual mentors. Some extra curricular reading with
a good overview can be found at this website recommended by
Kathleen:

Highlights of the May 8 meeting include:
• The Vestry looked at the outside cross above the
front entrance as a section of it has fallen down. Also,
the rear cross above the belfry is tilting and would
require a crane for repairs. It was decided to hold off
until this summer when the roof is inspected.
• The Vestry approved funds to have plans drawn up
for a larger storage building. Once completed we can
review the plans to determine the direction we need to take and if
this is feasible and necessary.
• Rev. Michael+ stated he’d be away to attend his graduation now
that his thesis is finished. He’ll return the day that Rev. Liz+
leaves for her Sabbatical.
• Bob Hann reported that the Farmer’s Market is doing well and
there’s a possibility of doing a survey in the future to determine
whether to rename or rebrand the market.

On the day that St. Clement’s School finished the 2011-2012
school year, work began on de-struction and re-construction of
the school playground. Thanks to a generous donation from a
school family, a new sports turf covering is being installed by
SportsTurf Hawaii. The old playground surfaces were installed
in 2001 and 1994 and were becoming a hazard to the children.
The new synthetic turf is highly durable, 100% recyclable, and is
a professional-grade product that is a popular choice for
professional soccer fields in Europe. A drainage system
installed underneath the surface allows water to be absorbed just
like natural grass. Until the project is completed, which we hope
will be in the next week or so, the playground is off limits to
everyone and the area in front of the playground needs to remain
clear of cars (except for Sunday mornings). In case you’re
wondering….. yes, we will be able to park on the new surface.
(The sexton says the best thing about the new surface is that it
doesn’t need to be
mowed!) These photos
show what a major
undertaking this project
really is. All the St.
Clement’s community is
deeply grateful to the
family who made this
possible.
Playground Undergoing
Re-construction
Are you a cat lover?
Florence Black, the lady who fed the cats
around St. Clement’s for many years, died last
month. Kim, the woman who took over for her,
will be unable to continue doing so and is
looking for someone to take over for her as of
mid-June. If you are interested, please call the
parish office (955-7745).
Sitter Available A mature, female parish member is
available for house and pet sitting
starting in June. Local and mainland
experience. References provided.
Please contact the parish office if
interested.

Kaimana Scott Hoolulu-o-Kinoole van de Waal Punahou School class of 2012; will be attending the University of San Francisco in the fall
Kaimana was an infant and toddler in the St. Clement’s nursery, and returned when he became a youth,
being confirmed at St. Clement’s. He has been a regular acolyte and is active in the Journey to
Adulthood (youth) program. His favorite memory of St. Clement’s includes loving the family camps at
Mokuleia (in fact, that was what brought the family back to St. Clement’s); time with his church family
and friends there have been a special part of Kaimana’s growing up years and is close to his heart. In
High School, Kaimana was on the football and track teams, participated in the Holoku Pageant, sang in
the Men’s chorus, Variety Show, was a co-chair of a booth at Carnival Junior Year, was a member of
the Glass Blowing Club, and played league basketball. Outside of school, Kaimana likes all the activities with “boards”:
skateboarding, body boarding, snowboarding….
Max Orrin Tadashi Haworth Punahou School class of 2012; will be attending Lewis & Clark College, Portland, OR for
Environmental Studies
From in-womb to present, Max has been part of St. Clement’s, and his favorite memories of church are
camping at Mokuleia. At Punahou, Max was an involved athlete, including football, wrestling, and club
lacrosse. He was also involved with the Surfrider Foundation and Filipino club, played tenor sax in
several bands, and was a peer mentor and camp counselor/assistant. Outside of Punahou, Max worked
with Stuart Coleman on the RAP Campaign (Rise Above Plastics), participated in monthly beach
cleanups, and developed a petition to push the plastic bag ban bill in the Hawaii Legislature. He was
also was a teacher assistant for the ESL (English as a Second Language) program at Lunaliho
Elementary. Outside of school, he likes hanging out with friends, hiking, watching movies, surfing, and playing pick up
basketball games. He wrote of his favorite memory from high school:
My favorite high school memory was my first Varsity Wrestling pin when I had a really bad knee injury. I thought
that I wouldn't be wrestling that day with my knee wrapped like a mummy, but when my coach announced my name to
wrestle in one of the matches my heart sank. I could not believe that my coach actually called my name. It was a moment
where I needed to prove to myself that I cannot only get through this experience, but come out of it with a win, I could not
let down my team. So I stepped onto the mat, heart beating, knee exploding with pain with every step, but I was determined
to get this done. The whistle blew, my opponent had a jump on me and got the first take down, and he dominated the match
for the first two rounds. I barely could lift my knee up, but I remembered, I had to believe in myself, and something filled
me. The whistle blew and yet again he had a step on me, I was struggling to get an escape and then I rolled him over and
he landed on his back. I held him there for dear life trying to get the pin, and then a slam from the refs hand on the mat. It
was the best sound I have ever heard in my life. I shot up to my feet and looked to the stands and saw everyone screaming
and cheering for me. It was special moment and I felt that I had a little push from God to help me out to get that extra
drive for my first Varsity Pin and it shows that anything is possible even in seemingly impossible situations.
Maya Kauanani Suzuki-Jones Punahou School, class of 2012; will be attending Scripps College in Clarement, CA in the fall, for
International Studies and Diplomacy
Maya was baptized at St. Clement’s and has been a member her entire life, since 1994. She is a regular
acolyte, and has helped in the atrium (our children’s Sunday School), and in the nursery. Among her
favorite memories of St. Clement’s: going to Camp Mokuleia every summer. Her advice for the
parish: Keep calm and carry on!!! In high school, Maya was involved in Model United Nations, served
as a Summer School Teacher’s Assistant, participated in the Holoku Pageant, and was Graduation Co-
Chair. She received the President’s Award this year. Her favorite high school memory was marching with the Punahou
Band in President Obama’s Inaugural Parade in Washington, D.C. Outside of school, Maya has volunteered at Olivet
Baptist preschool, and her interests include ballet, and contemporary and jazz dance (she is a teacher’s assistant at Queen
Emma Ballet). She will miss the St. Clement’s community very much, but looks forward to coming back during school
breaks to visit.
