Kahu is the Hawai’ian word for minister, a title given to me by a friend from Honolulu. This blog contains my thoughts as a liberal congregational minister, religious naturalist, poetry enthusiast, and relatively new parent. I live in the museum district of Houston, Texas, but I started off as a kid from the windward side of O’ahu, spending my days at Kailua Beach Park. If you go there, put an orchid in the bay for me…and if you come to Houston, come say “Aloha,” at Covenant Church (click cc in the list of links).

About the header: The photo atop the home page is a close up of a bumper sticker seen in the parking lot of the office of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary in Kihei, Maui. I thought the sticker had a bit of the activist aloha that I hope this blog will have. And it made me smile.

I love the complete and generous welcome that comes with each communion service, but I just cannot attend. It seems that I was brought up in the strict catholic tradition (three priests and two nuns in the family) and symbolism becomes something both insidious and important. The symbols of the altar and the chalices and the bread and wine only mean to me the blood and body of christ. I wish I could look at this as other, but I can’t. I am honored to be a part of covenant and am glad to be included and if there was a barbi and hamburgers and we did not attach other symbols, but rather just came in for a dinner, it would be different. I appreciated the opportunity to voice my opinion and am honored to present it. Frank
