931255_568682246495719_828626277_nThis is a repost of my original column for Feminist Studies in Religion.

Much of my personal life intersects with race, religion, and gender issues.  In some ways, the word intersects is too gentle.  Perhaps collide better captures what occurs in my life as an Asian North American woman theologian, writer, minister, and mother.  As I try to engage in theological dialogue, live in community with the dominant, unfamiliar culture, and raise my kids Continue reading →

Some people are born to write.photo-writing

Their ideas seem magically to appear, profoundly laid out before their eyes.

For some, writing is their passion and they are masters of it. But for the rest of us, writing is torturous. My experience of writing is painful, full of anxiety, and full of stress. For me, it is a forced task which comes with lots of mind-convincing tactics and promises to Continue reading →

This is a repost of my first column for EthicsDaily.com.  It is a theological reflection on my recent visit to South Africa.

“Cape Town, South Africa, is one of the most stunning places I have visited. The landscape is unforgettable: mountains, blue waves, pristine beaches, rich soil. Juxtaposed to the beauty of the land, however, are townships that are an ugly reminder of the past.”  For the full column click here.
