SOLA Network had the privilege of speaking to Joanna Wong, a deacon and lay counselor at Center Church in Irvine, CA. She is also a supervising family law attorney at a pro bono law firm and a Certified Domestic Violence Victim Advocate. 

Joanna Wong talked to Hannah Chao, editor at SOLA Network, and Jason Chao, video editor at SOLA Network about addressing abuse in the church, particularly the Asian American Church. We hope you are challenged by this important interview in which they discuss ways in which churches are ignorant of potential abuses that their members are experiencing at church, work, or home; first steps that church leadership should take to better care for its members; and the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.
