(Honolulu Star Advertiser) Episcopal Church in Hawaii affirms support for same-sex Marriage

Posted on October 27, 2013 by Kendall Harmon

The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai”˜i on Saturday voted to encourage the state Legislature to pass marriage equality, the largest denomination to announce its support of an issue that has divided people of faith.

A resolution was approved by acclamation of the 180 Episcopalians who attended the diocese’s annual convention at the Cathedral of St. Andrew, including 44 clergy. The diocese has 40 worshipping sites and about 9,000 parishioners statewide.

    Hawaii is one of four states with neither an ACNA parish nor the parish of any ACNA mission partner. Something to consider for the future.

    Considering the vast military and retired veteran presence in Hawaii, I wonder if the chaplaincy has a presence there.
