Kahu Bob Nelson joins us in the pulpit this week! Here is a short bio from him:
I hold a doctoral degree in pastoral counseling from Claremont School of Theology. I was a student pastor at the time at Vermont Square Methodist Church in Watts. I am currently a Priest (Retired) of the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. Served as a United Methodist missionary to Alaska in a parish/circuit on the Kenai, including a Russian village, a Scandinavian congregation, and developed two new congregations stretching over 125 miles. Later, I was director of United Campus Ministry at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. After a stint as a chaplain at UCLA, I went back to Alaska and was a family therapist and director of the Anchorage Child Abuse Board. I was a priest at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Anchorage for 24 years while also serving as the bishop’s assistant for managing sex abuse cases in villages/towns/cities across Alaska. I retired to Maui in 2001 and managed home meal deliveries to the homebound at Hale Kau Kau, while also serving a part-time chaplain at Maui Memorial Hospital.
