SOLA Network had the privilege of speaking to Dr. Alexander Jun, who serves as executive director of the PCA’s Korean American Leadership Initiative (KALI). He is also a professor who conducts research on equity and justice in higher education; a ruling elder at New Life Presbyterian Church in Fullerton, California; and moderator for the 45th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America in 2017. 

Dr. Alexander Jun spoke to Jason Chao, the video editor at the SOLA Network. They discussed the history of the immigrant church, the importance of Asian American voices, and the importance of ethnic-specific spaces like KALI. 

Their conversation also included: The difference between segregation and separation in ethnic churches, the role and growth of second-generation Asian American churches, and the national role of Asian American Christians.
