Next Gener.Asian Church

About

Next Gener.Asian Church is a collaborative blog to discuss issues facing Asian American culture and the Christian faith.

The goal of this blog is to bring writers from different ethnic Asian American backgrounds who have the common goal of seeing Jesus Christ magnified in our cultural contexts as well as our culture at large. It is our belief that the more we challenge the notions of our cultural enclaves, we will find that our passions for our communities and our Savior will find synergy as we discuss and share one another’s burdens. There are no theological agendas, denominational stonewallings, or cultural pride issues to be found here — only fellow travelers who seek that our communities would know and be transformed by Jesus Christ. Welcome to the conversation…

Currently, the primary contributors to this blog are David Park, William Woo, Anna Lee, the cutting truth, Daniel So, and DJ Chuang.

If you are interested in contributing to this blog, please leave a comment and we will contact you regarding your interest.

Thanks again for visiting and enjoy.

    Hello David,

    Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus!
    Heard about you from Paul Yang who now works for Atlanta Dongne Church as a part time Emerging Generation Minister.
    Since you have the wonderful vision for bring Asian emerging generation to Christ, I’d certainly like to speak with you about your vision and where you are headed and perhaps how we can work together in Christ.
    When you have a moment, please call me at 770-362-4251.
    Thank you!
    In Christ,
    Craig Kim

    Hey David,

    I’m a 25 year old “c”orean-american christian. don’t run. i feel… kind of lonely (respective to the direction of my church and my juggling of how God’s moving today), and so when you talked about emergent asian americans as being as sparase as gay navajo bikers, i reveled in its truth. However, I don’t think i’m “emergent”.

    Anyway, i’m assuming you get this a lot, but i was wondering if we could talk since i’m in atlanta too. and I live about 15-20 away from stone mtn.

    i left my email in the email field.

    Hello. I have a friend who is looking to find if the Emerging Conversation is taking place in South Korea. If any one knows and can point me to a contact, I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Grace and peace,

    Hi

    “A Quick Look at Buddhism” brought me to your blog.

    Have you heard of the Christian book “From Buddha to Jesus”? If you think it will add to the conversation & lead more Asians to Jesus, please have a look: http://www.BuddhaBook.org

    In Christ,
    Fe

    David, I was wondering if you had seen/heard Thabiti Anyabwile’s recent T4G talk on race and faith.

    http://www.sovereigngraceministries.org/Resources/T4G.aspx (look for his name)

    There are a number of posts on the 9Marks blog regarding this, and discussion on each:

    David,
    one of my readers sent me the link to the article on violence suffered by AA women, even in Christian settings. Very disturbing and not the first time I’ve heard of this blight.

    On occasion, if you like, I’d be more than happy to weigh on from my perch @ EvergreenLA and years in AA ministry. Also, I would really be grateful if you could help publicize that an AA Christian group I belong to called “Christians on Social Issues” (CSI) is hosting “A Conversation on Homosexuality” on May 10th, 7-9:30pm at EvergreenLA in SoCal. We’re especailly going to focus on AA evangelical churches so we’d love to spread the word in SoCal about this rare and needed conversation. It will be a conversation between 3 old friends (2 straight, 1 gay) around this issue. Plus we’ll be screening a short doc about 3 AA Xn families whose daughters revealed they were lesbians. One set of featured parents will be there on the 10th and will join in the conversation after the film. Can check out my blog or go to http://www.ebcla.org for more details.

    Pastor Ken! Thanks for stopping by.

    I’d be honored to help you plug the event. I’ll do so reading and post something soon. As for contributing on this blog, let me know if you want your own login or just want to email me. I’m grateful that you would share–you did after all, practically write the book on AA Christian issues.
