How do we, as Asian American Christians, navigate the intersections of faith, identity, and storytelling? Check out the @PTSCAAC and my new essay, "Reclassifying Our Stories: The Intersection of Archives, Power, and Asian American Theology" on our new Substack "Imagine Otherwise." https://t.co/FdPt5In3jW

Shout out to Carolyn Chen and the @APAReligions executive team for their inspiring leadership building up the next generation of Asian American religious scholars and leaders. Great connecting with two of my favorite APARRI folks.

#APARRI2024 Spent last week with colleagues at the APARRI conference in Berkeley. Shout out to APARRI's tremendous leadership for building up this conversation and community. Loved the boba tea breaks :)

3/3 I share a personal remembrance here (https://t.co/XzyOdqkhRl). He did not have medical insurance nor did he have life insurance. If you feel led to provide financial support for John’s family in this time of need, you may do so here (https://t.co/BmOMIMZPyk).

2/3 John was a visionary for Christian public scholarship. He was also a vital member of the CAAC team with whom I have worked closely with for the last three years. The CAAC team mourns his death. John's obituary can be found here. https://t.co/e7IdNydb5U

1/3 Requiescat in Pace: A Personal Remembrance of John Hwang (@tavon). Our colleague and friend, John Hwang, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on October 29, 2023. John was forty-four years old and leaves behind his wife Amy and three boys (ages 12, 11, and 7).

5/5 Now the Center for Asian American Christianity expands the legacy of the AAP as a research center with two research grants, funded by Luce (https://t.co/GHkcZ4IpTd) and the Louisville Institute (https://t.co/436fxUbz0M), exploring Asian American faith, practice, and justice.

4/5 The Asian American Program was a gem in the Asian American theology and ministry space that helped attract generations of Asian American faith leaders to Princeton Seminary @ptseminary.

[David Chao @DavidChao8]

3/5 With vision and foresight, Lee created the Asian American Program @ptseminary in the late 1980s. Lee was the first director of the AAP. The AAP was an important institutional space that equipped and empowered Asian American ministry leaders.

[David Chao @DavidChao8]

2/5 Dr. Lee was an ecclesial theologian within the Reformed tradition who mentored generations of students. We recognize his passing with sadness and celebrate the legacy of his work in the Reformed tradition as well as in Asian American theology and ministry.

[David Chao @DavidChao8]

1/5 Prof. Sang Lee was not only an accomplished and significant voice in the field of Jonathan Edwards studies, he was a pioneering leader in the field of Asian American theology and ministry. Lee’s classes and publications advanced Asian American theology and church life.

[David Chao @DavidChao8]

It is with great sadness that I share the news of Professor Sang Hyun Lee's passing. He was the first director of the Asian American Program at Princeton Seminary and mentor to generations of students. May he rest in peace.

For the upcoming “Multiple Belongings in Transpacific Christianities” conf hosted by @PTSCAAC & @OMSCatPTS, I’ll be making an argument about re-imagining Asian American discipleship building on Scripture, my family story, and these two texts… hope it’ll all make sense!
