This is my interview with Dr. Cynthia Holder Rich for Ecclesio.com.  It is reposted here with permission.

Editor’s Note:  This week, we discuss Grace Ji-Sun Kim’s 2013 book Colonialism, Han, and the Transformative Spirit.  Here, Dr. Kim answers a few questions arising from my reading of her book.

You discuss the concept of han at some length.  You say that “a soul that has experienced han is not amenable to reason and even resists the consolations of faith”.  What is the ministry we can offer those who have experienced han?  How do we approach the reality of han theologically and ecclesiologically?

Decent, fair-minded persons like us benefit by demanding cheap goods and produce, which simultaneously drives jobs overseas where no labor regulations exist, and near-slave labor conditions are prevalent, Kim says.

This is a repost of my latest column for Ethicsdaily.com.

Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from Grace Ji-Sun Kim’s book “Colonialism, Han and the Transformative Spirit.”

We live in a global economy where we affect people in poor lands as directly as we affect the poor within our own country, and we are unaware of our culpability.

This is my third book. Each book was a struggle to write.  In my struggle, this short book on globalization, ecology and sustainability has become very important to me. Now that this book will be released later this month, I am very excited about how it will contribute to such a growing literature of eco-justice and Spirit.

This is such a crucial topic for our time as it affects our livelihood, flourishing and our future existence on this planet earth. I hope that you will also be as passionate about taking care of each other and the earth.  I hope to hear some feedback on my book from you all.
