Are you a Womanist, Mujerista or Asian-American Woman Theologian? 

Have you ever heard of theology from a womanist, Mujerista or Asian-American woman’s perspective? Join racial ethnic young women as they explore these theological viewpoints. Through personal reflections, each woman shares her unique response to a primer that introduces a different expression of theology. 

Reflections on “Coming Home”

Two Asian-American women provide reflections on Coming Home: Asian American Women Doing Theology.

Larissa Kwong Abazia

In her reflection on Unzu Lee’s primer, Larissa Kwong Abazia gives the reader her thoughts on the primer, as well as a personal reflection of what she considers home.  Read this deep and heartfelt observation of  “Home” through the eyes of this young, faithful, Asian-American woman of God.

Irene Pak
Young Adult Intern for Racial Justice and Advocacy

“As I reflected on what coming home means for me as an Asian-American woman before reading the primer, I realized that home in terms of my own identity has always meant a place of in between.” Read Irene’s reflection.
