Week 9 – Response to Paul Kim
November 26, 2007
Serving in a church of a different culture is a new experience for me, so it is interesting and helpful to hear Paul describe Korean American churches. My Japanese-American church has the same problem: exclusiveness toward other cultures and hierarchical in structure. And yes, that results in an irrelevant church. Is it the result of a Buddhist background in previous generations? I agree that this situation needs to change for the sake of the Missio Dei and that their strategies and frameworks should be spiritual, communal, and holistic.
