Things I learned teaching Asian American Studies

I grew up surrounded by Korean and Asian American Christians--so why were our role models and the "heroes" of our faith anything but Asian American? And why didn't more of us question this and find it problematic?

After teaching Asian American Studies for a few years and being involved in several predominantly Asian American organizations, communities, circles, etc. basically all my life, I've developed a list of observations about us. In this episode, I share just a couple of things I've learned about Asian Americans, including why Asian Americans might accept our absence and erasure in the story of the Church.

Correction: The Filipino fishing settlement was created during the 18th century (mid 1700s) not the 1500s as I said in the episode. (That's what happens when I go off-script.)

The Honor Summit is a non-profit organization that exists to center the voices of Asian American women and all women in the Church and in the world.
