Anna. Ms. Anna Benesovska: Good morning Madame Chair and board members. My name is Anna Benesovska. I am with the County of Maui Planning Department Current Division and I would like to introduce Marcelino Raza who is going to give the presentation on this subject. Mr. Marcelino Raza: Good morning Madame Chair and board members. My name is Marcelino Raza. I’m an architect and I represent the applicant, Iglesia Ni Christo, Church of Christ, here in Lahaina, who have applied for a CUP/SMA permit. And we’re here in support of that and we will present to you what we are proposing design wise and hopefully it will meet your decision for approval for this project. With me I have one of my consultants, Civil Engineer, Stacy Otomo. If you have any specific questions in that nature I will defer to him so just let me know. We have some of our members behind me so hopefully we’ll behave ourselves. Urban Design Review Board Minutes – August 2, 2011 Page 2 APPROVED 09-06-2011 Again, thank you for having us this morning to present our project. But before I go on I’ll give you a little bit of a background of this church just for your information. It was established in the Philippines back in 1914 by Brother Felix Manalo. And in 1968 after he established his foot holds in the Philippines he established the first church at Ewa Beach in 1968 in the plantation village of Ewa Beach. And since then we’ve moved on to the states, all over the mainland, and also in different European countries, and I’ll have some illustrations for you of where we are, some of the chapels for example. And a bit of history for the Lahaina chapel, it was established back in 1985. It’s when we got our special use permit then. Then back in 1992 we went through this process and we got an SMA . (inaudible) . Permit. We had a construction permit. But due to final situation at the time we weren’t able to make realize that project, that dream of ours, until 2004 when we began this process all over again. And we had some hiccups along the way, but here we are. We went through the BVA a month ago or so in the same place for a height variance. And because we felt, you know, the steeple is a very significant symbol of any religion and we wanted to take that opportunity as well, and fortunately we got the approval of that. So let me take you to the present day of the Lahaina Church of Christ. This is where it is right now. It’s at Malo Street which parallels the Honoapiilani. Thank you. Are you able to hear me? Is this microphone okay? Alright, as you can see the foreground is where we held our worship services up until 2005. And in the background there is the minister’s residence. But we were having our worship services here until we had that mandate from EPA that, you know, multiple use or large use cesspools were no longer allowed. So we wanted to comply with the EPA and we’re now holding our worship services at the Lahaina Intermediate School. And our worship service schedules were Sunday mornings, Saturday evenings and Thursday evenings as well. We have approximately 160 members which they don’t go to services all at once because of work and everybody have different schedules. That’s why we have several services. This property here is about 37,000 square feet. The existing as you see it right now, that house in the foreground is about 1,500 square feet and it has about 65 to 75 seats. That’s why we had several worship services to break the congregation up. By the way, as I ramble on, if you do have any questions just please stop me. There is the map. There’s Honoapiilani, then you have the railroad tracks, and then Malo Street. And the Google A there is the property site. This is an aerial view. As you can see behind the existing chapel we have a parking lot and then you have the parsonage, and then you have a church up above behind this that’s about 20 feet in elevation difference from where the church is right now. Another view. That’s Ainakea Park in the back. And the site has a gentle slope, well, quite gentle I might say. It’s about 5% slope from the front to the back. A difference of about 12-13 feet. Just yell out Stacy if I’m wrong. This is a view heading towards Kaanapali or Kapalua. There’s the railroad track. There’s our oceanfront view. Going back to Lahaina. Okay, I’ve included this slide because this road driveway you see here is part of our property. This is a 10-foot easement driveway for access to the – there’s a property in the back there underneath those mango trees, so we need to maintain that easement, 10-foot easement. It is on the other side. A view of the park just above and behind the minister’s residence. Here it is again. Okay, before I get to this let me show you Urban Design Review Board Minutes – August 2, 2011 Page 3 APPROVED 09-06-2011 some examples of the chapels that we have. This is our main temple in Manila in the Philippines. I think it holds over 15,000 to 20,000 members in there. This is, if I’m not mistaken, is it in Australia? This is in the Philippines. This is in Waipahu. As you can see the common theme in architecture, the cliche with the spires. And you see this in any denomination of religion. You know, it’s just a symbol of faith. Here’s another one. I included this slide because this is in New York. This actually won a design award from the AIA Chapter over there for design of a religious buildings. These are in the Philippines again. I think this one is maybe in – we have one like this similar to California, over in, one in Carmel and one in L.A. and south San Diego. This must be one in Carmel or L.A. one. I’m not sure. Okay, let me back up. When we applied for the SMA/CUP permit, this was included in the index. These were our first conceptual pass at the design. As you can see this whole building was dictated by the 30 foot height limit. That ridge up there that you see is 30 foot height. And those little spires, those pointy things, just sits above the 30 foot line. So the base of those spires, those pointy things, is about 30 feet. Ms. Jane Marshall: I’m sorry, can you point to where you mean? The spires. Mr. Raza: I’m sorry, I’ll stand up and point. I hope I don’t – Mr. Darryl Canady: Take your mic. Ms. Okamoto: I’m sorry you have to use the mic. Mr. Raza: Okay, this represents the 30 foot height limit right here. If you have, like, you know, an imaginary line, this 30 foot line. This is the only piece that was sticking out above the 30 foot line. And for that reason we went to the BVA and asked for 30 foot height limit or go beyond the height limit. But in my design nature as an architect, it’s always, you know, an opportunity to redesign, I’ll take it. And I guess, sometimes that can be good or bad. In this case, you know, I looked at the proportions again of the building, and since we have this opportunity to increase the height of the steeples, I developed this elevation providing not just the original two- and-a-half steeples you see here. But I proposed a steeple that’s prominent in the front facade and some of the side gable walls along the side elevations. There you see.

KAVANAGH During the last sixty years, three separate movements have weakened the religious unity within the Catholic Church of the Filipino people. The first was Id by Isabelo dc? 1- Reyes and Gregorio Aglipay. It owed much of its initial success to two factors: nascent nationalism, and the inability of the ordinary people to perceive the difference between the Iglesia Independiente and their traditional Faith. At the present time the movement is stagnant. Split by schism into two hostile factions, Aglipayanism has lost much of its pop ularity and aggressiveness. Official statistics released by the Bureau of Census place the total number of Aglipayans in the Philippi~iesat 1,456,114.' The second threat to Catholicism appeared in the form of American Protestant missionaries and school teachers who followed the Army of Occupation to the Islands after the Spanish-American War.

REED The Iglesia ni Cristo, 1914-2000 From Obscure Philippine Faith to Global Belief System Rising in the Far East [the Philippines] in 1914, spreading to the Far West [the Americas and Europe] and rapidly gaining foothold in many parts of the world, the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) is viewed by nonmembers as shrouded in controversy and clouded in mystery. [...] The dynamic leadership of Brother Felix Y. Manalo, God's Last Messenger in these last days, is one of the factors that has contributed much to the rapid growth and expansion of this Church. [...When he] died in 1963, not a few [critics] expected the Church to crumble. They were soon bitterly disappointed, [...for] under the stewardship of his son, Brother Erano G. Manalo, the Church continues to grow by leaps and bounds. (Bienvenido Santiago 1986:39.) On July 27,1968, the 54th year of the Iglesia ni Cristo in the Far East, Brother Erano G. Manalo crossed the Pacific Ocean to establish the Church's first two congrega- tions in the Far West, one in Ewa Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and the other in San Francisco, California. [...Soon] the Church spread to the various metropolitan areas of the [North] American continent, to the ancient and historic cities of Europe and the Middle East, to the Pacific Rim regions of Asia, and [to Australia...] At present, there are more than 400 established locales and committee prayer groups scattered in more than 65 countries and territories around the world.

Hassner, Chair Professor Vinod K. Aggarwal Professor Jerome P. Baggett Professor Edwin M. Epstein Professor Steven Weber Fall 2011 © 2011 by Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow All rights reserved. Abstract Religion, Politics and Sex: Contesting Catholic Teaching and Transnational Reproductive Health Norms in the Contemporary Philippines By Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Ron E. Hassner, Chair How does religion shape transnational norms and the ways in which they are contested or adopted? Although constructivist international relations theory has made significant strides in understanding the role of norms in shaping political outcomes, there has been little research into how religion affects norm dynamics. This dissertation seeks to address this gap by developing a theory of “religious norms”, which I define as standards of proper behavior that arise from actors’ religious beliefs. I argue that while religious norms bear many similarities to secular norms, they differ in that believers understand them to emanate from the highest authority of all, that of the sacred. This can lead religious adherents to treat religious norms as having overriding importance, especially when they perceive them to be under attack from competing norms. When this happens, religious adherents can frame the religious norm as highly salient, constitutive of the faith and under threat, a process that I call “defensive sacralization”.
