Siʻoku kāinga ʻofeina, fakamālō atu ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue ʻosikiavelengá ke faitāpuekina ai e moʻui ʻetau kau mēmipa kei talavou ʻo e Siasí.

Ne u vakai kimuí ni mai ki he tohi foʻou ko e, By Study and Also By Faith: One Hundred Years of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion (ʻI he Ako pea ʻI he Tui Foki: Taʻu ʻe Teau ʻo e Seminelí mo e ʻInisititiuti Fakalotú). Ko ha talanoa fakaofo ia! ʻI heʻeku lau iá, ne u fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fatongia ʻo ʻeku kui tangata ua ko Siosefa F. Sāmitá mo ʻeku kui tangata ko Melevini J. Pālatí ʻi hono fokotuʻu mo fakalahi ʻo e ako ʻa e Siasí.

ʻOku ou ngāue he ʻahó ni ʻi he feituʻu naʻá na ngāue ai kimuʻá koeʻuhí ko ʻeku fakataha mo kimoutolú. Talu mei he 1985, mo ʻeku maʻu e faingamālie ke ngāue ʻi he taʻu ʻe 14 ʻi he Poate ʻo e Akó, pea taʻu ʻe 7 ne u ʻi he Kōmiti Pulé ai, pea ne u Sea he meimei taʻu ʻe 4 ʻo e ngaahi taʻu ko iá.

Lolotonga ʻeku ʻi he Poaté, ne tupulaki ʻeku houngaʻia lahi ʻi he Potungāue Ako ʻa e Siasí. ʻOku ou lea he pooni ki he kotoa ʻo e mātuʻá, ngaahi kuí, pea aʻu ki he ngaahi kui ua ʻi he Siasí ke fakamālo kiate kimoutolu kau faiako mo e kau pule pea mo homou ngaahi fāmilí ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue faivelengá. ʻOku fakaofo e ngaahi meʻa kuo ikunaʻi ʻe he CES ʻi he taʻu ʻe 100 kuo hilí . Ka, ʻoku ou mahuʻingaʻia ange ʻi he taʻu ʻe 100 ka hoko maí pea mo e founga te mou lava ʻo tokoniʻi ai hoʻomou fānau akó ke nau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa feliliuaki tuʻuloa ʻo e senituli hono 21 .

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ʻi ha fakataha ako ʻa e Kau Taki Māʻolungá ʻa e tefito ko hono “tauhi ke maʻa ʻa e tokāteliné mo e Siasí ʻi he hala totonú.” Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai lava ke tau fuʻu tokanga. Kuo pau ke tau tokanga ke ʻoua naʻa tau hē mei he [halá]. ʻI heʻetau feinga ke ʻuluaki mo foʻou mo kehé, mahalo te tau akoʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe ʻikai fenāpasi kakato mo e ngaahi tokāteline tefito ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ko ʻeni kuo toe fakafoki maí. … Totonu ke lelei mo lahi ange ʻetau tokangá. … Kuo pau ke tau hoko ko e kau tangata leʻo ʻi he tauá.”1

ʻI he ʻunu ki muʻa ʻa e ako ʻa e Siasí ʻi he senituli hono 21 , ʻoku fie maʻu ke mou takitaha fakakaukauʻi ha faʻahinga liliu ʻoku totonu ke mou fakahoko ʻi he founga te mou teuteu ai ke faiakó, founga hono akoʻí, mo e meʻa te mou akoʻí kapau te mou langaki ha tui taʻeueʻia ʻi he moʻui ʻa hotau toʻu tupu pelepelengesí.

ʻOsi atu e taimi ne fai ai ʻe ha taha ako ha fehuʻi fakamātoato pea naʻe tali ʻe he faiakó, “ʻOua te ke tokanga ki ai!” ʻOsi atu e taimi ne ʻohake ai ʻe ha taha ako ha meʻa naʻá ne hohaʻa fakamātoato ki ai pea fai ʻe he faiakó ia haʻane fakamoʻoni ko ha tali ne fakataumuʻa ke taʻofi ʻene hohaʻá. ʻOsi atu e taimi naʻe maluʻi ai e fānau akó mei he kakai naʻa nau ʻohofi ʻa e Siasí. Meʻamālié, ne tokonaki ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kimoutolu kau faiakó ʻa e faleʻi ko ʻení ʻoku mahuʻinga he taimí ni mo e taimi kotoa pē: “Pea koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻa e tuí, mou fekumi faivelenga pea feakoʻiʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e potó; ʻio, mou fekumi mei he ngaahi tohi lelei tahá ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e potó; mou fekumi ki he ʻiló, ʻio, ʻi he ako pea ʻi he tui foki.”2

ʻOku kaungatonu ʻeni he ʻahó ni koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu kotoa ʻe hoʻomou kau akó ʻa e tui ʻoku fie maʻu ke fehangahangai ʻaki mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku tuʻunuku maí pea koeʻuhí kuo ʻosi fakaʻaliʻali ki he tokolahi ʻo kinautolu ʻi he ʻInitanetí ʻa e ngaahi mālohi fakaʻauha ʻo ha māmani ʻoku tupulaki ai ʻa e fakafili ki he tuí, fāmilí, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga moʻui ʻo e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku mafola ʻa e ivi takiekina ʻo e ʻInitanetí ʻi he māmaní ki he meimei ʻapi kotoa pea ki he nima mo e ʻatamai kotoa ʻo hoʻomou fānau akó.

Te mou lava ʻo tokoniʻi ʻa e fānau akó ʻaki hono akoʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa e ʻuhinga ke fakatahaʻi ʻa e akó mo e tuí ʻi heʻenau akó. Akoʻi kinautolu ʻaki hono fakatātaaʻi ʻa e taukei ko ʻení mo e foungá ʻi he kalasí.

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Paleniteni Hāloti B.Lī ʻo pehē:

“Te mau fakamanatu atu, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha founga faingofua ki he akó ke maʻu e ʻiló ʻi he tuí. ʻʻOku fie maʻu ha ngāue mālohi mo ha feinga hokohoko ʻi he tui. …

“Ko hono fakanounoú, ʻoku ʻikai ko e ako ʻi he tuí ko ha ngāue maʻá ha tangata [pe fefine] fakapikopiko. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, ko hono olá, ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe ha faʻahinga ngāue pehē ʻa e tukulolo kakato ʻo e laumālié, fakafehokotaki ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau mo e ngaahi ongo ʻa ha tokotaha mo e ʻOtuá—kuo pau ke fokotuʻu ʻa e fehokotaki totonú. Pea toki hoko mai ʻa e ‘ʻiló ʻi he tui.’”3

ʻE ʻomi ʻe he ʻilo ʻi he tuí ha fakamoʻoni ʻoku haohaoá, pea ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha fakamoʻoni ʻoku haohaoá ha mālohi ke liliu ha moʻui, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi talanoa ʻe tolu ko ʻení.

ʻUluakí, naʻe mavahe ʻa Fīpē Kata mei hono ʻapí ʻi Meini ke fakataha mo e Kāingalotú ʻi ʻOhaiō ʻi he 1830 tupú. Naʻá ne manatu ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakatumutumu hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻi he meʻa naʻá ku faí, pea pehē pē mo au, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha faʻahinga meʻa naʻá ne teke au. Naʻe ʻikai ke u meimei malava ʻo ʻūkuma siʻi mamahi ʻeku fineʻeikí ʻi heʻeku mavahe mei ʻapí, pea ka ne taʻeʻoua e Laumālie ʻi loto ʻiate aú, ne u meimei foʻi.”4

Naʻe muimui ʻa Fīpē ʻi he palōfitá pea fakataha mo e Kāingalotú ʻi ʻOhaiō pea faifai ʻo aʻu ki ʻIutā, ʻa ia naʻá ne pekia ai ko ha mēmipa faivelenga ʻo e Siasí mo ha kaungā ngāue hoa tatau pea ko e uaifi ʻo e Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí ko Uilifooti ʻUtalafi.

ʻOku ʻomi ʻa e talanoa hokó mei he piokālafi ʻo Malioni G. Lominī.

Naʻe fakapapau ʻa Malioni ʻi heʻene hoko ko ha tokotaha ako he kolisí he ʻikai te ne lava ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau koeʻuhí ko e tuʻunga fakapaʻanga hono fāmilí. Naʻá ne fanongo ʻi ha taimi ʻe taha ki ha lea ʻa ʻEletā Melivini J. Pālati. Ko e fakamatala ʻeni ʻa e piokālafí, “Naʻe ʻikai teitei ʻilo ʻe [Malioni] ʻi he taimi ko iá ʻe liliu fakaʻaufuli ʻa e halanga ʻo ʻene moʻuí ʻi ha kiʻi momeniti siʻi pē.”

Hoko atu e talanoá: “Kuo fakahā ʻe he [tamai ʻa Malioní] ki heʻene fānaú … naʻe ʻi ai ha faikehekehe lahi ʻi ha tangata naʻá ne moʻui ʻaki e ueʻi ʻa e Laumālié mo ha taha naʻe ʻikai, pea tatau pē ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku tupu mo ha potuʻiʻakau mate. Ko e fuofua taimi ia ke mahino kakato kia Malioni … ʻa e [moʻui] ʻi he malumalu ʻo e ivi takiekina ʻo e ueʻi ʻa e Laumālié. Naʻá ne ongoʻi mahuhuhuhu mo tuʻutuʻukina. Kuo teʻeki ai ke [ne] ongoʻi pehē hangē ko e taimi ní, ʻi heʻene fakafanongo ki he lea ʻa e tokotaha foʻou taha ʻo e Kau ʻAposetoló.  …

Naʻe takiekina mālohi ʻa e Talavou ko Malioní …. Naʻe fakafonu ia ʻaki ha holi taʻe-mataʻofi ke ʻalu ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ʻe he fofonga fiefia ʻa e ʻAposetoló mo e fakamātoato ʻo ʻene fakamoʻoní. … Naʻá ne ʻilo kuo pau ke fakatoloi ʻene ngaahi palani ke hoko atu ʻene akó.”5

Ne vave pē ʻa e ʻalu ʻa Malioni ki ʻAositelēliá, ʻa ia naʻá ne ngāue faivelenga ai. Naʻá ne hoko kimui ange ko ha ʻAposetolo mālohi mo ha mēmipa ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí.

Naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Poiti K. Peeka ʻa e talanoa fakaʻosí kau ki he mālohi naʻe maʻu ʻe ha faiako toulekeleka ko Viliami E. Paleti. Ko e faiakó ko ha papi ului mei Noaue, naʻe ʻikai ke sai ʻene ngaahi taukei he lea faka-Pilitāniá. Neongo ʻa e ngaahi fakangatangata ʻa e faiakó, ka naʻe manatu ʻa Palesiteni Peeka naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Misa Paleti ʻi ha ngaahi taimi lahi. “Ne mau lava ʻo fakamāfanaʻi homau nimá ʻi he māfana ʻo ʻene tuí.”6

Kimui ange aí, ne hoko ʻa Viliami ko e taki ʻi he seminelí, ʻinisititiutí mo e ngaahi ako ʻa e Siasí.

Naʻe hoko ʻa e fanongo ʻa Fīpē, Malioni, mo Viliami ki ha fakamoʻoni naʻe haohaoá ko ha meʻa ke ne poupouʻi ke liliu ʻenau moʻuí ʻo taʻe ngata. ʻE lava ke hoko moʻoni ʻa e meʻa tatau ki hoʻomou fānau akó. Neongo ia, mahalo ʻe ʻikai feʻunga maʻu pē ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻoku haohaoá, ʻi hono ʻomi e ngaahi meʻa moʻoni ʻo e māmani ʻo e ʻaho ní. Naʻe maʻa mo haohaoa ʻa Fīpē, Malioni, mo Viliami, pea tauʻatāina mei he ponokalafí mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamāmaní ʻi heʻenau tangutu ʻi he veʻe vaʻe ʻo e kau faifekaú, kau faiako, mo e kau taki kuo ueʻi fakalaumālié. Naʻe faingofua ke hū ʻa e Laumālié ki honau loto molū mo haohaoá.

Ko e ʻahó ni, kuo kehe ʻaupito ʻa e talanoá, he kuo ʻosi maʻu e niʻihi hoʻomou fānau akó ʻe he ponokalafi mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamāmaní kimuʻa ke nau aʻu atu ki hoʻomou ngaahi kalasí.

Ne toki hū ʻa e toʻu tangata pē ʻe taha kuo ʻosí ʻi hotau kakai kei talavoú ki he ngaahi fakamatala kau ki hotau hisitōliá, tokāteliné, mo e ngaahi founga ngāué he naʻe fakangatangata pau pē ki he ngaahi nāunau naʻe paaki ʻe he Siasí. Ne maʻu ʻe ha fānau ako tokosiʻi ha ngaahi fakaʻuhinga ne kehe ia. Ko e lahi tahá, naʻe nofo hotau kakai kei talavoú ʻi ha moʻui naʻe fakangatangata.

Naʻe ʻikai ke teuteuʻi ʻe heʻetau ngaahi nāunau fakalēsoni ʻo e taimi ko iá, ʻetau fānau akó ki he ʻahó ni neongo naʻe ʻuhinga lelei—ko ha ʻaho ʻoku maʻu vave ai ʻe he fānau akó ʻa e meimei meʻa kotoa kau ki he Siasí mei he tafaʻaki kotoa pē ʻo e fakakaukaú. ʻOku nau sio he ʻahó ni ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻi heʻenau telefoni toʻotoʻó ʻoku hangē ha poleʻi ʻo e tuí pea tatau pē mo hono poupouʻi ʻo e tuí. ʻOku maheni ange hotau kakai kei talavou tokolahi mo e Google ʻo laka ange ʻi he ongoongoleleí, loto fiemālie ke maʻu ha meʻa mei he ʻInitanetí ʻo laka ange ʻi he ueʻi fakalaumālié, pea ngāue mālohi ange ʻi he Facebook kae ʻikai ʻi he tuí.

Makatuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻa ko ʻení, ne toki fakangofua kimuí ni ʻe he Poate ʻo e Akó hano kamata ʻi he seminelí ʻa e Fakataukei Tokāteliné (Doctrinal Mastery).

Mahino pē, kuo pau ke mou ʻofa ki he ʻEikí, Hono Siasí, pea mo hoʻomou fānau akó. Kuo pau foki ke mou toutou fai ha fakamoʻoni ʻoku haohaoa moʻoní. ʻIkai ngata aí, ka ʻoku fie maʻu foki ʻe hoʻomou fānau akó ke faitāpuekina kinautolu ʻi he ako ʻo e kakano mo e kaveinga fakatokāteline mo fakahisitōlia ʻi he ako pea ʻi he tui ʻoku ō fakataha mo e fakamoʻoni ʻoku haohaoá ke nau lava ʻo aʻusia ha ului ʻoku aʻuaʻu mo tuʻuloa ki he ongoongoleleí mo ha tukupā ʻi he kotoa ʻo e moʻuí kia Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo laka ange ʻi ha toe taimi ʻi hotau hisitōliá. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e ului ʻoku aʻuaʻu mo tuʻuloá te nau “nofo maʻu ʻi he vaká pea piki ke maʻu” ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻenau moʻuí.7
