Is it really 90% Christian (that is what our tour bus driver said)?
What is the general opinion of natives toward Christianity?
"Natives" (I’m assuming you mean Native Hawaiians- — are mostly Catholic and other Christian. There is also a large Mormon population here (which for most counts as Christian). There a fairly large Buddhist population (mostly Japanese-American). The fastest growing group is evangelical Christian. A good percentage don’t consider themselves any particular religion, although some Native Hawaiians celebrate their native religion (often along with Christianity).
On a joyous day of celebrating the Inauguration of President Barack Obama, Fern Pule, Uncle Abel and Puna sang the classic song, “Hawai’i Aloha” for those gathered nearby.

Well since my main profile was suspended for a violation (waiting to get reinstated cause it was first one for obscenity) I figured i’d blow some points on this one asking a question here. My marriage has been on and off rough really most of the 14 years its gone on so far. We were this close to divorce as of last august right at our anniversary. Things have improved, we’ve been going to counseling, worked thru some of the sexual issues on our own (actually last few weeks have been some of our best sex including premarital) and things seem headed the right way. We’re going to vacation with the 3 kids (13f, 5f,1m all birthdays in late april/may) in hawaii, and i’m thinking about renewing our vows in the park thats by diamond head. Specifically this set of vows/service
Welina Me Ke Aloha.
We gather here together on the majestic slopes of Waikiki to celebrate the joyful union of this man,______ and this woman,______ in matrimony on this date of ______here on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
Mahalo ia oe no ke aloha.
We thank you for the beauty of this day, for the miracle of love, and for this exact moment. We are thankful for all the blessings given to ______and______for bringing their two hearts together as one with Love.
Love is a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Love is a mountain Awash in lovely flowers. It is your home, Where all bright things shine. You feel it now, so strong and free, So part of every breath. That it must live beyond eternity. Love never ends. Oke aloha ka mea oi ae.
Today, you are here to begin the weave of your marriage with the golden threads of love, hope and commitment. You are promising to share the happy and the sad, the joys and the sorrows, the riches and the hardships. The commitment is to one another, to be partners in life helping the other be stronger, wiser and the best friend.
He palena ole ke aloha.
______and ______are you now ready to commit to one another?
Do you take______ to be your wedded wife, To love, honor, and cherish her in all of your days?
Do you take______ to be your wedded husband, To love, honor, and cherish him in all of your days?
Throughout the world, rings are a sign of eternity, for as circles they have no beginning or ending. These rings are the symbol of your pure love and promises which you share together as husband and wife.
(Repeat and place the ring) Me ke aloha pumehana. With all my love, and for all the world to see, I have chosen you as my husband/wife. It is my heart’s desire to be with you throughout my life, and I shall love you always.
"YOUR OWN WORDS TO EACH OTHERS"
(poems, tributes, songs, gifts or any words from your heart)
You were born to be together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together even in your silent memory. Memory is once more alive for the love of you. The secrets within me are seen through your love. May you create a home that surrounds your family and friends with Warmth, laughter and love and may your love be eternal.
I ola mau oe me ka mauli ola. He ola lo’ihi a ola kino maika’i, a e pomaikai mau ‘ia’oe, i pomaikai ia na kanaka e a’e i kou ola a pau.
It is our wish that your pure love will never be dimmed by the demands of the world. May you always believe in the vows you have made here today throughout your lives. May you have long life and good health, and may you be greatly blessed so that you may be a blessing to many others.
Now in the witness of the state of Hawaii, who performs all true marriages. It is my honor that I pronounce you, partners in life, soul mates, Husband and Wife. You may kiss your bride and you may kiss your groom.
So what do you think? A piece of why I want to do it with the kids there is that the 13 year old has definitely caught us fighting (not physically, just scream/yell/curse) a number of times, and maybe the 5 year old has too. So I was thinking this would be a nice happy warm feely thing for us all. Our anniversary is in August, but we met in April 95. Dated in May, moved in together in June, proposed in July, married in August, pregnant in September 
Just to clarify a little, I’m not expecting this to fix anything. We’ve made good progress both with using counseling, as well as on our own as a part of what counseling is valuable for is giving you the toolbox to deal with the relationship.
In a way I guess I’m sort of looking at it as maybe a fresh start, try and forget the sleeping on the couch on my 14th anniversary, some of the horrible things we’ve said to each other, etc.
Eric, if it’s just not there to begin with, I don’t feel redoing your vowels will help things anyway. Love pure love is the name of the game, the name of it all. Without love you don’t have much. IF by some chance the two of you feel it WILL be of help, then by all means do whatever you feel will help it along. We’re all different, what works for some doesn’t for others & visa verse. But before you make up your mind for good, talk it over with your wife & see how she feels about it. It just may be the thing for YOU, no one can truly ans. that but you two…the best to you…:)
Christians, I am 14 years old. I will be in High School in August. I probably won’t be able to go to a Catholic school because they’re private. And there is no way my mom is paying money for me to go to one. Sad. 
Anyways. Are there religious classes I can take. Just to study the bible, the faith, etc? Like a a Church or something. I am going to become a Catholic, so I would prefer Catholic classes. I don’t mean like RCIA, or whatever it’s called. I just mean an extra class or something to do bible study sessions, Learning about God and Jesus, and Christian values?
This isn’t really part of my subject, but how can I qualify for a Financial Scholarship? You know, if you’re having troubles?
Thank you, and God bless.
(I live in Honolulu, Hawaii if that helps)
please phone 903-561-7070
i believe they have a correspondence course that is free of charge
