Abstract

Since the introduction of Christianity to the Hawaiian Islands by Calvinist missionaries in the early 19th century, worship in Hawai'i has looked and felt very 'Western.' This project attempts to shift that emphasis by drawing on indigenous Hawaiian spirituality, Buddhism, and Christianity to construct a worship experience that is both spiritually and culturally relevant to the local people of Hawai'i. Process-relational theology serves as the foundation or basis under-girding the worship experience. The methodology used combines Participatory Action Research (PAR) method and praxis-reflection. The conclusion is that process-relational theology offers room for dialogue across differing cultures, and there can be ways to worship together as an interfaith community post-9/11 in a sustained, meaningful manner.
