Orthodoxy in Kauai Developing Strongly....

[Gxg (G²)]

Although there is a ROCOR Church on Kauai, they've yet to establish an official website. But their presence is known there - and there are other other Orthodox throughout the Hawaiian Islands thankfully. On the island next to Kauai (Oahu), there are a couple of Orthodox Churches - including a Coptic Orthodox Church (St.Mark's CHurch) that is in position to move over to Kauai. In regards to Orthodoxy in Hawaii, it dates back to the 1700’s when the first Russian envoys that stopped here on the way to or from colonies in the United States...and by 1815, the first Orthodox church was erected on the island of Kaua’i.

For some resources on the issue:

• Orthodoxy in Hawaii
• Praying With My Feet: Orthodoxy in Hawaii
• Orthodoxy on the Hawaiian Islands - Православие.Ru
• TWO HUNDRED YEARS ON THE ROAD: A History of the Orthodox Church in Hawaii

You may also enjoy orthodoxinhawaii : Orthodox Christians in Hawaii - as the the group there was created to offer news and information on "what's going on" in the ancient Orthodox Christian Church in the Hawaiian Islands. ..and provide a common link to all Orthodox Christian families in Hawaii or formerly of Hawaii.

I've always found it amazing when seeing/experiencing Orthodox practice from a Polynesian perspective - as seen in Orthodoxy and Hawaiian Culture. Beautiful work, IMHO

ROCOR, not ROCOUR. Sounds like hieromonks doing parkour...

Cool to know

I'd love to go in the future and see some of the ROCOR parishes there as well as their icons. Especially the The Myrrh-Streaming Icons of Hawaii
