Theology from the Margins: An Interview w/ Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim
Listen now
Description
How do you process your identity and theology if you feel invisible as a person? What if your story, history, and experience are largely rejected and excluded from the culture you're a part of? How does that shape the way you see God and the world? Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim is a Korean-American theologian who works in liberation and feminist theology and wrote the book Invisible asking those questions from her perspective as an Asian American woman. In this conversation, we talk about identity, whiteness, white supremacy, and how the Holy Spirit and the Asian concept of chi might be interwoven. The bourbon we taste in this episode is a 1980 I.W. Harper.  But don't go looking for it, because it's, you know, 43 years old. To skip the tasting, go to 7:19. You can find the transcript for this episode here. Production note: Logic corrupted our files (thanks Apple), so we had to use Zoom audio this time. Apologies. PS: Kyle was dealing with some family stuff and unfortunately couldn't make it for this interview. He'll be back next episode. =====Join the Post-Evangelical Collective Leading in New and Emerging Spaces Cohort with Brian McLaren, Feb. 15-16, 2024. ===== Want to support us?
