Jude 2

I spent all day Thursday with 5 other leaders from my church, at a conference keynoted by Hawaii's Lt. Governor, a born-again Catholic who is very open and vocal about his faith in Christ. He addressed the unique conference designed to connect State Agencies, social service agencies and churches for the betterment of our community.

This is the first time, in my memory, that the church has invited the government and social-service agencies to come, sit together and dialog about how we can cooperate to make life in Hawaii better for everyone.

Who is always pushing, "separation of church and state?"

That is wonderful. I work at a Methodist church (preschool) and I have found the Methodists are social-action oriented, in a good way. Very resourceful and cooperative in what they do.

It sounds like something good could come from that.
