Honors for Kamehameha IV, Queen Emma Being Considered

The General Convention of the Episcopal Church will be considering a proposal to add the names of King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma to its liturgical calendar when the group meets later this month in Anaheim, Calif. This action is the result of the Archbishop of Canterbury's visit to Hawaii and the efforts of the Episcopal Church in Hawaii to add these names to the church's ca!endar with their feast day on Nov. ,?8. The movement is in recognition of the two alii's immense

commitment to establishment of the Episcopal Church in Hawaii as well as for their eoneem for the welfare of the Kingdom of Hawaii. King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma both sought the founding of medical and educational institutions throughout the kingdom. They will also be honored for their strong and personal religious convictions. The entire membership of the church will consider this proposal at the convention.
