Speakers at forum
to discuss tolerance

A panel of speakers will explore "Tolerance, do we have a problem in Hawaii?" in a forum scheduled for Friday at the First Unitarian Church of Honolulu.

The concept of Hawaii as a "cultural paradise," the distribution of wealth, legislating tolerance and the role of the religious community in tolerance/intolerance are among the subjects to be discussed in the 7 p.m. program sponsored by the Social Justice Counsel.

Participants at the forum will include Noel Kent of the University of Hawaii Ethnic Studies Department; Sandra Ma of the American Civil Liberties Union; and state Rep. Iris Ikeda Catalani.

Others scheduled to participate are Carolyn Golojuch, president of Parents and Friends of Gays and Lesbians; First Unitarian Church pastor the Rev. Mike Young; Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustee Mililani Trask; Maile Meyer, founder of Native Hawaiian Books and Beautiful Things; and Bob Rees of Honolulu Weekly.

Moderator Mary Anne Raywid will field questions from the audience.
