On this week's episode, Nikki Toyama-Szeto and David de Leon share their insights from a project on Asian American histories of civic engagement and activism. Discussing the stories of Larry Itliong and Yuri Kochiyama, they discuss how identity, solidarity, and partnership are key to helping Christians think about how to engage faithfully in their contexts, even amidst histories of disenfranchisement and oppression.
This project was presented at the Stott Bediako Forum put on by INFEMIT.
David de Leon produces 20 Minute Takes, studies theology, and is co-author of the recent book: Learning Our Names: Asian American Christians on Identity, Relationships, and Vocation
