Soturday, June 4, 1983 Honolulu Star-Bulletin A-J Prison Church Transforming Lives 7 cMiiisr i v. buy the Church Behind Bars a new piano. George Shimabuku from Kapiolani Bible Church has been involved for at least the last seven years and does counseling every Thursday evening. RITURBAN'S JOB is to coordinate the Bible study program for inmates, getting 1,200 lessons a month to the prisoners. Last year, 11,444 lessons were completed by inmates at the prison, at Halawa High Security Facility, at the Women's Correctional Unit and the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility.

Those who complete the course either the Good News Mission correspondence course or courses from the Navigators, Moody Bible Institute or Emmaus Bible Correspondence School receive a certificate and a Bible. Riturban collects the Good News lesson reviews, most with multiple-choice questions, and sends them to be corrected by volunteers at First Presbyterian Church and Bethel Bible Church in Wahiawa. Lots of other Christians in the community make their contribution to the quality of life in prison. Diane Bartosik, the chaplain's wife, makes time from her work as a flight attendant to conduct a weekly Bible study class for wives of the inmates. Nuuanu Baptist Church gave the Church Behind Bars an expensive video machine and First Chinese Church of Christ contributed the television so inmates can see "some of the most outstanding Christian videotapes in the world," Bartosik said.

ment and was at the end of his rope. "My life had no hope, no meaning, no purpose. One of the most terrible things is to be alone with your thoughts." Then someone gave him a Bible with his name engraved on the cover and he began reading. "Can God forgive me what I've done? God spoke to me and I fell on my knees on the concrete floor and I was no longer a tough guy. The spirit of the Lord was on me and my whole life was changed," Tanuvasa said.

IT WAS DIFFERENT for Phil Riturban, another inmate who has become assistant to the chaplain. "I was enrolled in a drug rehabilitation program in the community and one man used to come in with a Bible, but I didn't want to know, didn't want to even talk about it. "When I came to prison in 1979, the very first day I was in the diagnostic holding unit, that man came in. "It was Harry Fujihara. He's with Youth Crusade and he goes to Makiki Christian Church.

I told him to sit down. It's time we talked." Fujihara is one of many volunteers who make the prison their beat. Bartosik has recruited and trained 300 Christians who call regularly at the prison to do one-to-one counseling with the inmates. They are part of the larger network that reaches inside the prison walls from the community at large. At Kalihi Union Church, enough money was collected to prison, "one of the bulls, but he now has a calming force that is felt throughout the prison." "A year or so ago there was a lot of unrest after the shakedown and a potential for rioting, but we took prayer requests from the guards and the inmates and got together to pray over these things and it was tremendous," Bartosik said.

"Paul says Christians are called to a ministry of reconciliation and I've seen reconciliation between the guards and the prisoners and the prisoners and the administration, Bartosik said. BARTOSIK INVITED the Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers and their wives, the staff and guards to a gathering inside the prison with the inmates, called "the brothers," about three weeks ago. "And afterward one of the guards came up to one of our brothers and said, came here to influence you, but you have influenced me and I want Christ as my He wept and opened his heart to Christ, Bartosik said. "Yeah," said Tanuvasa. "In the last couple of years things have really turned around in here.

You no longer have to stay tough. And no particular group runs things. These prisoners can be turned upside down for Jesus Christ." Tanuvasa's work is in ceramics, coffee mugs and urns and vases that he embellishes with quotes from scripture or religious symbolism. Yet five years ago this 32-year-old from American Samoa spent eight months in solitary confine By Nadine W. Scott 1 I.

Slnr-Bulletm Writer Inmate Tautunu Tanuvasa says Oahu Community Correctional Center "today is so mellow," "A lot of good things are happening in this prison. There's less tension. That's the way Tanuvasa, serving time for armed robbery, sees it from the inside. "When other people blow, we flovi," Tanuvasa says. He's speaking about himself and the other inmates who have committed their lives to Christ and who work with Chaplain Rick Bartosik in the Church Behind Bars.

Bartosik, state chaplain for the Division of Corrections for seven years, came to Hawaii when the state asked the Good News Mission, which provides chaplains and Bible study courses to prisons and jails throughout the world, to send a minister. He has seen the prison population go from about 250 to more than 1,000. BARTOSIK'S JOB is "to effectively reach each man with the gospel of Jesus Christ," something he seems to have done with Tanuvasa, who is one of his "God is working behind the scenes," Tanuvasa said, "and it's not; reported in the media. You always hear about the negative things that happen and it's just one guy acting up one rotten apple." Tanuvasa is relaxed and affable with the chaplain who later explained that the inmate was once one of the most violent men, in mm CHURCH BEHIND BARS Inside Oahu Community Correctional Center, Chaplain Rick Bartosik meets with two of his inmate assistants, Phil Riturban, left, and Tautunu Tanuvasa.

Thp ihiprf Rpligion YT Scholar Runs 100-Mile Ultra Marathon for Religious High By Nadine W. Scott Star-Bulletin Writer He's been running since 1975 about 12 regular marathons and seven ultra marathons and he did it again last weekend. S- Cromwell Crawford scholar, professor in religion at the University of Hawaii, teacher of the ethics of Western and Eastern religions, of Buddhism and Hinduism finished the Hawaii Festival of Running a hundred miles in 25 hours, 3 minutes and 9 seconds. friend who was running along with him at about 2 p.m. Sunday took his weight and found he had lost 15 pounds.

Max Telford, the famous New Zealand runner is his coach, and "Max told me to take sustagen and water." He kept in close touch with himself "in the way Dr. Jack Scaff advised me." He had a treadmill test the day before and was in better shape than he had been 10 years ago. And then finally, "There is nothing so ecstatic as crossing the finish line, perhaps not even in sex. "It is a unique experience. "I did it with the help of my friends.

I think that is what religion is all about." ty and run. You can't feel hateful and run. You can't lie to your ligaments and your ligaments will not allow you to continue running in those negative states." Another religious feeling, along with the closeness of the natural environment was the closeness "of the many people who surrounded me and helped me along," for the high points don't last. You cling to the mountaintops but you go also to the valleys of despair and fatigue. He was discovered there by "three beautiful angels" he had never met Nancy, Diane and Michelle.

They ran with him and somehow he felt they were all part of a common field of energy although they were strangers. "We were one, running, and this mutual energy made our laps together not merely a matter of survival, which it was, but of fun," and they were somehow bearing his burden "and therefore fulfilling the role of Christ." At his aid stations he devoured Gerber baby food, which he discovered is "not kid's stuff." Someone gave him a Walkman but he discarded it because "it was almost sacrilegious as far as being in touch with my feelings. By associating with my feelings, with what's taking place inside and outside me, I was able to keep in contact with the center of my body and thereby survive." HE CAME CLOSE to dehydration at one point and his doctor wreath at the finish line. You don't even do it for the sake of health. "One reason I didn't drop dead on the road was I didn't care if I died." The value of the run is intrinsic rather than extrinsic.

"It goes beyond health. From the religious point of view it provides a certain state of ecstacy, not anything bubbly, but standing beyond yourself." A DISSOLUTION of ego takes place. "I'm no longer conscious of myself as Cromwell Crawford, but I progress entirely into the experience of the unity of my being with all the being that surrounds me to a union with the ocean as I pass, with the trees, with the mountains as I look toward them. "I can feel the rhythm of nature and also a heightened aesthetic awareness so the blues of the ocean are bluer and the green of the trees are greener." There is catharsis too, for him. As the toxins of the body are let loose, "so must negative feelings be released.

Teruo Kowata, Conference Minister 2103 Nuuanu Ave. Phone 537-9516 He did it for the ecstasy, the transcendental high, knowing the experience is a kind of "holy masochism," knowing there is no way, no distraction that will end the pain inherent in a 100-mile run. "Many people are alienated from feeling, they get no feedback from their bodies. Running gives you a direct feedback." His purpose in running is to emphasize the importance of mind and spirit to the body and he has learned that spiritual things can be physically discerned.

And more. For him it is not a Zen experience; he was born in India and not Japan, but "I did have a Yogic experience. In yoga there is a joyful harmony of body, mind and spirit." None of that at the beginning, at 5 p.m. Saturday, just the tension and the excitement of being in such a monumental race and knowing "I am running, and being very conscious of myself running and how on earth I am going to keep it up for 24 hours. "Then after a while something takes place and this kind of subjective-objective relationship I being the subject and running being the object ends and I plus my action become one.

It's something that gradually evolves and I know it is going to happen. It's a very definite feature of this yoga experience." THEN ONCE you get in the flow, time begins to vanish. "Once it is 5 o'clock and suddenly it is midnight and Hawaii Kai is wrapped in slumber and you can see the black silhouette of Koko Head almost rise majestically against the moonlit night. "So time vanishes and by the same process, distance vanishes. You suddenly discover you have done 25 miles and it seems as if you had only just started the race." He said altered states of consciousness are another significant feature "when you begin to feel the flow.

The run takes on an intrinsic value all of its own and you do not do it for the sake of applause or praise or a laurel GRACE BIBLE CHURCH 1052 llimo Dr. Honolulu, Hawaii, 595-638) SAM A.
