Join us on May 14th for Beyond Representation–Belonging and Power in the AAPI Faith

View this email in your browser In a time when so many communities are being asked to carry more while being heard less, the church is called to become a place of deeper truth, courage, and belonging. But belonging requires more than visibility. It asks us to examine who is heard, who helps lead, and whose wisdom is allowed to shape the whole body. That’s why we’re inviting you to join us this week for Bridging Divides: Beyond Representation — Belonging and Power in the AAPI Faith. This conversation will explore what it means to move beyond inclusion in name only and toward real belonging, shared leadership, and faithful power in AAPI church communities. We’re grateful to be joined by Rev. Lydia Shiu, Rev. David Chang, and Nina Fernando, leaders who bring pastoral wisdom, lived experience, and deep commitments to justice, community, and faithful public witness. Join us on May 14 at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific Register now If you know someone who needs this conversation, we invite you to share the registration link with them. Bring a friend, invite someone from your church, or forward this email to people in your network who are asking what it means to build communities where marginalized voices do more than participate—they help lead, shape, and transform the whole. After the webinar, we’ll post the recording to our YouTube channel, along with additional resources you can use personally or with your community.
