Wisdom of Kalaupapa Offers Short Video for Kalaupapa Sunday

The Hawai‘i Conference, along with ReSource for Christian Spirituality and the Episcopal churches of Kaua‘i, have produced a short video on Wisdom of Kalaupapa to introduce churches to the project and invite their involvement in this interactive workshop series.

What wisdom can we gain from the patients of Kalaupapa to apply to our lives today?

Nā kupūna of Kalaupapa have so much to teach us about soul-wrenching challenges, perseverance, and triumph.

This video can be shown during worship on Kalaupapa Sunday, which will be observed on January 23 this year. For more information, contact Kalani Wong or Phyllis Meighen at wisdomofkalaupapa@gmail.com.

The fourth Sunday in January has been designated by the Hawai‘i Conference as Kalaupapa Sunday, a day to remember and honor those who were exiled to the remote peninsula on Moloka‘i because of Hansen’s Disease. Additional resources for observing Kalaupapa Sunday are available on our website:
