We're currently preparing an article about the Welshman Issac 'Aikake' Davis who, together with John Young, acted as advisor to the future first king, Kamehameha I, and was instrumental in the unification and establishment of the kingdom in 1795. Only this morning, our author in Hawai'i shared a link to a video that shows Davis's personal Book of Common Prayer, the first of its kind in the archipelago, exhibited at the Cathedral of St. Andrew.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQdv66WIv_E" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=RQdv66WIv_</span><span class="invisible">E</span></a></p>
Rita Singer<p>Reposting my <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a> because there's a flurry of new folks -- and I'm an eternal optimist at finding fellow Welsh writing in English peeps.
