Here I Am

This project is a unique compilation of theological reflections and stories of faith from Korean American women in various forms of ministry in the church. The main goal is to share their stories to provide a window of understanding into the trials of Korean American women in ministry--a window that may serve as a mirror for other women who know what it is to be marginalized, overlooked, or prejudged based on their gender, ethnicity, culture, or appearance. The book's uniqueness is found in its various genres of writing--from sermons and theological reflections, to poetry and stories of personal journey--from women of various generations. Readers will be encouraged, inspired, and affirmation for other Asian American women called to Christian ministry. Their stories and voices add clarity, wisdom, and hope, enriching the overall landscape of writings in this field.Key features: A rare view inside the lives of Korean American female clergy as they experience the challenges and triumphs of ministry and lifeA collection of reflections from Korean American clergywoman, including sermons which are prophetic, visionary, and biblicalDistinct voices that offer understanding of the wider immigrant and American churches
