👀 Hey, it’s a story about our amazing community! Thank you @CarolKuruvilla for taking the time to dive into this analysis of our group in the nuanced historical & cultural context while elevating a multitude of community voices.

In searching for a church, progressive Asian American Christians often have to choose between shared theology and shared culture. They're searching for a third way forward. https://t.co/CdLGNDRGfs

🌟#SPAACSNACC is hosted by Seattle PAAC + full of food/snacks convos & more

[Diverging Magazine @DivergingMag]

#AsIAm explores how different folx in the @PAAChristians community are exploring the notion of "unconventional work." @daejeong shares a vulnerable piece about struggles + redemption of being a stay-at-home dad & photographer in a normative culture. https://t.co/1pCG484rYA

DYK: In addition to @paacpodcast we also have SPAAC SNAAC podcast? This podcast turns a collective obsession with food and other miscellaneous snaccs into an audio experience.

@laurensotolongo Correction: We want to clarify that Rev Lydia is one of our PAAC members, but not Lydia Shiu—PAAC co-founder. Sorry about the confusion!

[Progressive Asian American Christians @PAAChristians]

Listen to this podcast with one of PAAC’s co-founders, Rev Lydia!

SHOUTOUT 🔥 // this @realrobbell interview with “Reverend Lydia” focuses on the Asian American experience in choosing a path.

Specifically through a Korean American + Immigrant lens, it feels deeply important in voicing what I’ve heard close friends share of their own lives.

Sitting at the table last night with these folks who were connected thru @PAAChristians , our stories were stories of renewal and of courage to imagine God's will being done.

[thatbrianlee @thatbrianlee]

This community would be a prophetic witness because Asian Americans are people of worlds - navigating between where we come from to where we're going. For me, a part of my faith is recognizing the ways God is renewing the world and pointing (well, proclaiming) that renewal.

[thatbrianlee @thatbrianlee]

Recently, I had been thinking about what if there was a community of PAAC who met regularly in a physical space to worship, to study, and be a prophetic presence in the world. This community would be multicultural because Asian America encompasses a multitude of cultures.

[thatbrianlee @thatbrianlee]

In the evening, there was a @PAAChristians Denver meetup. @ilifftheology was hosting two different events and we were all able to meet. While it was funny that I was the only Denver person at the table, it meant a lot to sit and be in conversation.

[thatbrianlee @thatbrianlee]

Yesterday was a special day. The AM started with a psych assessment for the #umc ordination process and it really was informative. There was nothing pathological and the results of all the tests reflected the interview with the psychologist.

In 1st grade, a white classmate told me I couldn’t be Belle from Beauty & the Beast for Halloween because I wasn’t white. #GoBack

[Progressive Asian American Christians @PAAChristians]

Have Asian Americans in Hollywood ever been told to #GoBack to where they came from? From fans? Execs?

[Progressive Asian American Christians @PAAChristians]

Some people are saying that "go back to your country" isn't racist. Asian/Pacific Islander/Desi Americans, care to push back? Share your stories with the hashtag #goback.

[Progressive Asian American Christians @PAAChristians]

Let's keep the #GoBack stories coming @nytimes @kalyTsoto
