On May 15, 2022, a gunman entered a Taiwanese church in Orange County, California. He killed one person and wounded five others. Police later disclosed that the crime was committed out of a political hatred of Taiwan. The shocking crime brought attention to the tension between China and Taiwan even here in the United States. 

Pastor KC Liu wrote about the incident for SOLA Network in “Response to the Laguna Woods Shooting on May 15, 2022.” In the article, he shared the dark history between the two nations but also looked for a way forward through the Gospel. 

SOLA Editorial Board member Daniel K. Eng interviewed Pastor KC Liu a few months after the incident, and we are publishing it now in the new year. They talked about Pastor KC’s experiences growing up in a Taiwanese family, and how his own family was affected by the political tensions within the country. He also discusses the current animosity between Taiwan and China. But he also ends with a call for unity, and he has great hope for the future. 

We hope this interview will be enlightening for American Christians, especially Asian American Christians, as we truly learn what it means to be united in Christ.
