Faculty of Religious Education

Academic Vice President Isaiah Walker announced Matthew Bowen as the new director of religious education at Brigham Young University–Hawaii. Bowen will take on this role beginning January 7.

Three Filipino students from BYU–Hawaii recently joined international scholars, religious leaders, and policymakers at the 7th International Forum on Law and Religion, held in Bonifacio Global City, Philippines. BYU–Hawaii’s participation in the event, centered on the theme "Charting the Future of the Women, Peace, and Security agenda," was fully funded by the International Center for Law and Religion Studies (ICLRS) at J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University (BYU), and gathered experts from Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Pacific to examine how law, culture, and religion shape peace and gender equity in the region, allowing the students to both learn from and actively contribute to a global dialogue on religious freedom, human dignity, and the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda.

A group of BYU–Hawaii students recently joined world leaders, scholars, and faith representatives at the 32nd Annual International Law and Religion Symposium to discuss how faith, law, and human dignity intersect globally.
