In Loving Memory: Richard K.P. Kamanu

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Kahu Richard Kawaiokalani Puninani Kamanu, 63, on October 24, 2020. His presence and leadership were a blessing to the Hawai'i Conference long before he took up the position of an Associate Conference Minister. Richard graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 1975 and went on to earn a Master of Divinity from the Chicago Theological Seminary in 1982. He was ordained in September 1982 at Kalapana Mauna Kea Congregational Church

Reflections on a Virtual 'Aha Pae'āina

As we approach the 'Aha Pae'āina, let us think through what our experience of the virtual format will be like. While the Conference is utilizing Zoom, we will mostly be using their webinar platform.
