Summary:

"The significance of the current volume is that it provides a forum for the scholars of the Korean American Protestant churches to address some of the key challenges concerning socio-cultural and theological formation of identity and mission as they continue to navigate their own place in society as immigrant churches in relation with others, including Korean churches in South Korea, mainline churches in the USA, other ethnic churches, and multi-ethnic churches. The discussions in this volume are arranged in three areas: identity formation, missional and spiritual formation, and inter-cultural formation"-- Provided by publisher.
