Korean Presbyterian Church of Fresno Church Officer Workshop 후레즈노 한인장로교회 임직자 스쿨 웨비나

Rev. Jechul Kang who is a senior pastor at Korean Presbyterian Church of Fresno invited me as a keynote speaker for the Church Officer Workshop. I met him at the annual conference of 3040 (years old) young Korean American pastor group at PCUSA. We recognized that his vision for the future ministry of the church is similar to the concept of Meta-church in my presentation. After a long conversation he decided to invite me to the church officer workshop. Even though my schedule in October is very tight, I had to accept his offer because I felt his passion for the church as all the 3040 young Korean American pastors have. I hope and pray for this workshop to be helpful for the church to discern the direction in post-pandemic era.

대한민국 제 20대 대통령 선거 결과를 대하며,

열심히 했지만 원하는대로 되지 않을 때가 있다. 누구의 잘못이 아니다. 단지 그럴 때가 있다. 부정하고 싶은 현실을 마주하며 용기를 내어본다. 모든 것이 과정이거늘, 한 순간의 결과가 실체라고 생각하지 말자. 모든 것은 끊임없이 변한다. 하나의 사건은 또 다른 사건에 변하지 않는 사실과 이루지 못한 변화의 단초를 제공한다. 매 순간의 선택이 이전에 경험하지 못했던 새로움을 가져다 준다.
