Liliuokalani Becomes a Member of the Anglican Church.
At 6 o’clock or so on this Monday, Liliuokalani was baptized and there was a laying on of hands (Kopirimatio) by Bishop Willis, in St. Andrew’s Cathedral. The font was festooned with flowers of all sorts.
[We found this small mention about Liliuokalani’s baptism because of response by Corrine Chun Fujimoto on yesterday’s post about the Anglican Church in Hawaii!
Also, can help me with the word that “Kopirimatio” comes from?]

Aloha, I know this has been posted here for a while. I think Kopirimatioia may be Confirmation. Queen Lili’uokalani was baptized and confirmed on 5/22/1896.
Interesting! Did this not occur on 5/18/1896, like it says in the article?
