First Unitarian Church of Honolulu
- First Unitarian Church of Honolulu
The First Unitarian Church of Honolulu is the only Hawaii-based congregation within the Unitarian Universalist Association. It is located at 2500 Pali Highway in the Nu'uanu Valley.
The congregation was founded in 1952 as a lay fellowship. The fellowship was unusual for its time because its leadership consisted of women (Rosemary Mattson as chairwoman and Ruth Iams as program director) and because it made efforts to engage in interfaith dialogue with Jewish and Buddhist congregations in Honolulu. [ [http://starbulletin.com/2003/02/08/features/story1.html "Honolulu Star-Bulletin"] ] In September 1969, the church made national headlines when it offered refuge to U.S. servicemen protesting the war in Vietnam. The servicemen were arrested by military police within the church grounds. The resulting action brought about a unsuccessful lawsuit filed by the church against the military - Bridges v. Davis, 443 F.2d 970 (9th Cir., 1971). [ [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20D15FA3F5D1A7B93C6AB1783D85F4D8685F9 "The New York Times"] ] The Rev. Mike Young has been the church’s minister since 1995.
