Family,

The memorial service for Tuck Chin is this morning at 10:30. The program is linked below. If you attend in-person you are invited to wear your Hawaiian attire.

It has been a week of disappointing rulings by the US Supreme Court. The court issued what I perceive to be flawed rulings on religious liberty, gun ownership and reproductive rights. A literalistic reading of texts like the Constitution locks their meaning into that of the world in which they were produced, worlds that  ceased to exist decades, centuries and millennia ago.

In the op-ed below Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of the UC Berkeley School of Law shares a perspective I am in full agreement with.

Pastor Jim
