Debi Hartmann will discuss "Devout in My Faith, Engaged in the Politic, Finding a Comfortable Nexus," at the upcoming Interfaith Open Table.

Hartmann once led Hawai'i's Future Today, a conservative group that opposed gay marriage. In a dramatic turnaround, she is now working with gay activists to enact civil-union laws that carry the same rights as traditional marriage.

Also, Judy Rantala, former executive director of the University of Hawai'i YWCA and now head of the Hawai'i Coalition Against Legalized Gambling, will share her faith journey.

The group meets at 7 a.m. Wednesday at Temple Emanu-El, 2550 Pali Highway. Information: Sam Cox, 779-3606 or Jonipher Kwong, 728-8811.
