Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing social, cultural, and religious barriers and making disciples of all nations has probably never been without some level of controversy. This book is an attempt to hit the pause button on this rapid-paced world and to reflect on how we do mission, especially in light of the new layers of complexity that globalization brings. While the contributors engage in new aspects of mission and cultural encounter unique to the twenty-first century, the underlying issues of each chapter are age-old topics that have reared their heads at various times throughout history: priorities in mission, power struggles, perspectives on cultural others, and contextualization. With that in mind, our aims are twofold: (1) to carefully consider issues causing tension and contention within current mission thought, practice and strategy and then (2) to engage in serious but charitable dialogue for the sake of God’s mission and the salvation of all peoples.

Book excerpt: "Seldom are we able to listen to the story of a school that has so greatly impacted world mission. As we contemplated how to record the first forty years of the School of World Mission, now School of Intercultural Studies, it was obvious that the best way was to capture the memory of one who lived it. While many of our faculty can claim deep root in the school, no one compares to Chuck Kraft who, apart from the first four years, has been a vital part of every development." - C. Douglas McConnell, Dean, School of Intercultural Studies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologian Choi Hee An explores how Korean immigrants create a new, postcolonial identity in response to life in the United States. A Postcolonial Self begins with a discussion of a Korean ethnic self ("Woori" or "we") and how it differs from Western norms. Choi then looks at the independent self, the theological debates over this concept, and the impact of racism, sexism, classism, and postcolonialism on the formation of this self. She concludes with a look at how Korean immigrants, especially immigrant women, cope with the transition to US culture, including prejudice and discrimination, and the role the Korean immigrant church plays in this. Choi posits that an emergent postcolonial self can be characterized as "I and We with Others." In Korean immigrant theology and church, an extension of this can be characterized as "radical hospitality," a concept that challenges both immigrants and American society to consider a new mutuality.

Download or read book Women Struggling For a New Life written by Ai Ra Kim and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-01-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kim explores the religious impact, particularly that of the Korean Methodist Church, on the lives of Korean immigrant ilse (first generation) in the United States. To most of these women, America is new soil, and they need to adjust to a different cultural and social environment. Consequently, they may be confused and frustrated. As a community center, the Korean church plays a significant role in their lives. Kim examines the church, to determine if it is helpful or detrimental to these women as they adjust to their lives in the United States. Although the history of Korean immigrants in the United States is almost 100 years old, resources about Korean immigrants, particularly women, are scarce. These women have long been invisible and unheard in American society as well as in the Korean community and church. Their experiences as minority women and their painful struggle for survival in patriarchal Korean churches reflect not only the plight of women but also genuine human struggle.

Download or read book The Social History of the American Family written by Marilyn J. Coleman and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 2111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American family has come a long way from the days of the idealized family portrayed in iconic television shows of the 1950s and 1960s. The four volumes of The Social History of the American Family explore the vital role of the family as the fundamental social unit across the span of American history. Experiences of family life shape so much of an individual’s development and identity, yet the patterns of family structure, family life, and family transition vary across time, space, and socioeconomic contexts. Both the definition of who or what counts as family and representations of the “ideal” family have changed over time to reflect changing mores, changing living standards and lifestyles, and increased levels of social heterogeneity. Available in both digital and print formats, this carefully balanced academic work chronicles the social, cultural, economic, and political aspects of American families from the colonial period to the present. Key themes include families and culture (including mass media), families and religion, families and the economy, families and social issues, families and social stratification and conflict, family structures (including marriage and divorce, gender roles, parenting and children, and mixed and non-modal family forms), and family law and policy. Features: Approximately 600 articles, richly illustrated with historical photographs and color photos in the digital edition, provide historical context for students. A collection of primary source documents demonstrate themes across time. The signed articles, with cross references and Further Readings, are accompanied by a Reader’s Guide, Chronology of American Families, Resource Guide, Glossary, and thorough index. The Social History of the American Family is an ideal reference for students and researchers who want to explore political and social debates about the importance of the family and its evolving constructions.

Download or read book Understanding Korean Christianity written by K. Kale Yu and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural landscape plays a momentous role in the transmission of Christianity. Consequently, the global expansion of the church has led to the increasing diversification of world Christianity. As a result, scholars are turning more and more to native cultures as the point of focus. This study examines how this new discourse evolved as well as presenting a missional methodology based on the study of the native landscapes of Korea. Kale Yu argues that the process of formulating and communicating Christianity was less consistent than is usually supposed. By immersing the reader in the thought and lived experience of various Korean contexts, Professor Yu recreates the diversity of cultural landscapes experienced by Korean Christians of different periods in history. The result is a new interpretation of cross-cultural missional interactions.

Download or read book Family Ministry in a Korean Immigrant Congregation written by Jun Kim and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 444 pages. 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.
