Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Though Korean congregations occupy a central place in the lives of Korean immigrants, previous literature has not examined their role in supporting families. By engaging in the descriptive, theological, and strategic work of practical theological investigation, this dissertation employs sociological, psychological, and theological perspectives to investigate how one Korean immigrant congregation supports its families. An examination of current literature on the importance and roles of Korean congregations provides background to the study. This is followed by a review of models of congregational family ministry, arguing that effective forms of ministry require understanding the specific needs of a congregation's families, as well as the local congregation's theological views. Practical theology provides the method for this study's effort to analyze the needs of Korean families and the way their congregation ministers to them. A congregation well known for addressing family needs was selected for study, using observation of church events, interviews with families and leaders, and analysis of sermons and other church documents. The study looked for the key theological themes embedded in the congregation's practices. It was found that the case congregation's family worship service and educational ministry aim to resolve generational tensions in families. Its mode for doing so is shaped by its theological conviction of God's call to global mission, emphasizing cross-generational involvement in missions. Using family life-cycle theory, this dissertation analyzes the needs and stresses of the families of the congregation's youth group, showing how the congregation's ministries do and do not support immigrant families. The congregation's emphasis on global mission rests on key biblical texts that are often heard from the pulpit. A fuller understanding of those texts reveals a theme of God's compassion, a theme that might deepen this church's family ministry. Drawing upon yet extending Heinz Kohut's interpretation of empathy in the light of the theological notion of believer's union with Christ, then, a normative vision of congregational care toward an "empathic community" provides the base for concrete suggestions for the case congregation's ministry. The dissertation ends with implications for researchers and practitioners in the fields of the Korean-American church, pastoral and clinical care, and congregational studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is one that pertains to the family ministry of the Korean immigrant church helping to restore faith community of the immigrant families. It is a study of the family worship ministry which recognizes the need for family ministry by local churches and assist and guides family worship of each family among the method of the ministry. Due to industrialization and nuclear family system, the family of this age is living and faced with many difficulties and problems. While there were many factors that could help and support family under large family system of the past, in the nuclear family period, family were exposed to the vulnerable environment. In particular, immigrant families have even greater difficulties to overcome in terms of culture, language, and generational conflicts, and the immigrant church must undertake ministry that serves these families with faith. The immigrant church is consisted of small to medium sized churches that voice up various difficulties in carrying out special programs for the family ministry. However small to medium sized churches are more effective than the large sized churches in achieving a family like church. This is so because, relative to the larger church, pastors, pastors of the small to medium sized churches would know much more about the situations and difficulties of the families, and so they can pray diligently and help with details with the church community.

Book excerpt: Many churches are switching to the multisite or multiservice models to manage crowded sanctuaries due to growing attendance. This solution seems sensible in the short term, but too often churches adopt this model without taking into consideration what the Bible says about it. Illuminating the importance of physical togetherness as a way to protect the gospel, this book argues that maintaining a single assembly best embodies the unity the church possesses in Jesus Christ. Jonathan Leeman considers a series of biblical, theological, and pastoral arguments that ask us to stop and examine intuitions or assumptions about what a church is. He reorients our minds to a biblical definition of church, offering examples of churches that have thrived with a single service at a single site and compelling alternatives for those looking to solve the complications that come with a growing church.

Book excerpt: In the 120 years of Korean immigration to the United States, there has been a history of much hardship and loneliness associated with settling down in a strange land and living life as an immigrant. For many immigrants adjusting to life in the United States, in which their children have had to adjust to life in a whole new culture, it is often the case that they have not been able to pay much attention to their children's lives. Now, these parents face the problem of communicating to and discipling children that have grown up in a completely different language and culture—having been assimilated to the culture and having been educated in the United States growing up with a completely different set of values from their parents' generation. As such, problems and conflicts within Korean immigrant families in the United States continue to grow. For Christians, the problems they face often find their children leaving their homes and leaving their churches. Unfortunately, this is the reality of the Korean church in the United States.

Book excerpt: Multicultural churches help us understand God's will for us to become one in this multicultural world and experience a heavenly gathering in advance. This book, based on case studies of four multicultural churches, provides insights and knowledge regarding minority-dominant multicultural churches in the United States. Many multicultural churches in America are mainly concerned about racial reconciliation between the white and the black. On the other hand, resources concerning minority-dominant multicultural churches are scant. With the special attention on Korean immigrant churches, this book contributes to the body of knowledge regarding minority-dominant multicultural churches. Specifically, this book provides a model transition process, called the Windmill T-process, to facilitate the movement of monocultural/monoethnic churches in taking steps towards acquiring the characteristics of multicultural churches. In addition, this book touches on the issue of evangelism in the multicultural church. Although there is limited insight, the book describes what factors first draw different racial/ethnic people to a church and what factors cause them to stay there. All in all, this book will guide you to a deeper understanding on multicultural churches and its practices for all nations beyond ethnic/racial identities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth study on preaching to second generation Korean Americans, the first of its kind, is based on empirical and ethnographic fieldwork. Matthew D. Kim conducted surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews with Korean American pastors and second generation young adult respondents in three geographic regions of the United States: the Midwest, the West Coast, and the East Coast. His primary conceptual framework employs social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius' theory of possible selves to facilitate the process of congregational exegesis in the second generation Korean American church context. This book offers a new contextual homiletic model that enables Korean American preachers to engage in deeper levels of ethnic and cultural analysis in their sermonic preparation. Simultaneously, the author reconstructs conventional preaching roles of Korean American preachers and second generation listeners so that they may co-creatively imagine new possible selves that radically advance Christian mission and practice in the world. This book will serve as a primary or secondary source for upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate courses on preaching, communication studies, ethnic and racial studies, cross-cultural ministry, or social psychology.

Book excerpt: Religion and Spirituality in Korean America examines the ambivalent identities of predominantly Protestant Korean Americans in Judeo-Christian American culture. Focusing largely on the migration of Koreans to the United States since 1965, this interdisciplinary collection investigates campus faith groups and adoptees. The authors probe factors such as race, the concept of diaspora, and the ways the improvised creation of sacred spaces shape Korean American religious identity and experience. In calling attention to important trends in Korean American spirituality, the essays highlight a high rate of religious involvement in urban places and participation in a transnational religious community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the family art therapist understand the complexities of another’s cultural diversity? What are international family therapist’s perspectives on treatment? These questions and more are explored in Multicultural Family Art Therapy, a text that demonstrates how to practice psychotherapy within an ethnocultural and empathetic context. Each international author presents their clinical perspective and cultural family therapy narrative, thereby giving readers the structural framework they need to work successfully with clients with diverse ethnic backgrounds different from their own. A wide range of international contributors provide their perspectives on visual symbols and content from America, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Australia, Israel, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Trinidad, Central America, and Brazil. They also address a diversity of theoretical orientations, including attachment, solution-focused, narrative, parent-child, and brief art therapy, and write about issues such as indigenous populations, immigration, acculturation, identity formation, and cultural isolation. At the core of this new text is the realization that family art therapy should address not only the diversity of theory, but also the diversity of international practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korean Wild Geese Families: Gender, Family, Social, and Legal Dynamics of Middle-Class Asian Transnational Families in North America explores the experiences of middle-class Korean transnational families, whose mothers and children migrate abroad for children’s education while fathers remain in Korea and economically support their families, throughout transnational separation: before separation, during separation, and after reunification. It discusses the themes of (1) changes in wild geese parents’ relative gender statuses, housework patterns, and spousal relationships; (2) changes in mothering/fathering practices and intergenerational relationships; and (3) wild geese families’ settlement and integration in the host societies and re-adaptation to Korea after family reunification. Se Hwa Lee interviewed mothers in both the United States and Canada, as well as fathers in Korea, to compare the effects of immigration policies between the two countries in North America and present gender-balanced explanations. Se Hwa Lee also sheds light on Asian documented immigrants’ hardships and different degrees of empowerment and incorporation in the host societies according to legal status, employment, additional education, and co-ethnic community membership. This book offers readers valuable venues to enhance their understanding of increasingly diverse transnational families in North America.
