Episcopal Asian Supper Table Talk: “Proclaiming God’s Deep Economy”
When: Saturday, April 9 at 4:00 pm
Where: St. Thomas Fifth Avenue (in-person only, no Zoom)
RSVP to East@dioceseny.org before 2:00 pm Thursday, April 7th.

At EAST's first in person event in two years, Dr. Jonathan Tran will present Asian American Christianity as good news in the context of this racist backdrop. He will tell the story of an Asian American community attempting to live into God's “deep economy.” While being honest about Asian American racism toward others, he offers a Christian account of solidarity and liberation for all oppressed communities. The talk will be followed by a time for reflection and conversation, and light hors d'oeuvres. Dr. Train holds the George W. Baines Chair of Religion at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He is the author of Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism (Oxford University Press, 2022) which attempts to rethink how we think about race and racism.
