As the church considers its identity and place in a secular and pluralistic society, it is finding it difficult to nurture a distinct function in the public square. In this episode, with my friend Rev. Sarah Han, we discuss the various tactics the church has used throughout recent history to figure out how it fits within a world often measured and validated by logic and rationality. To go further, we consider how the particularities of an ethnic church, with its sense of belonging and home, can interact with the diverse arena of the public. How does the often "thin" theology we cultivate in our private churches engage the "thick" and complex realities of the public world? When it comes to engaging the margins of society, the church has to figure out who it is and what it stands for when it's roaming the streets of our city.
