DJ - Looks like a wonderful opportunity. I always feel that as part of "the family" at these events one is given a great change to ask questions that might not be able to be pushed. I would think asking questions that force people to be intentional about their ministry are important. Here are two questions that I would be interested in hearing some response and reflection.
- What does the Postmodern Asian American congregation look like? Is that even a reality? - Does ethnicity/culture trump political and theological perspectives? - How how, will, should and/or can mono-cultural congregations transition to be pan-asian or multicultural?
Just a few quick thoughts. Look forward to hearing how it goes.

Bruce, I can sure count on you for provocative questions :) If this comment thread stays dormant and I don't hear much else, I may well just have to take it in a more exploratory and speculative direction and raise those questions!

Sounds good. "Provactive" is my middle name. Hope it goes well.

You should have put out a Facebook invitation on this... I am arranging my schedule to be there. Man, you talked about Peet's Coffee down the block from my church and we could not even get together yet :-(

Hey DJ,
I would enjoy conversation about some of the following topics:
- Social Justice in the context of Asian American Ministry (Discussion about theological perspectives and practices) - Movement Towards Multi-Culturalism and the Limits of an "Asian-American" Label - Conversation about Emerging and Emergent and its Implications (if any) in the Asian American Context - Viral Leadership and Discipleship (Possible?) - Challenges Unique to Asian American Churches - Best Practices on Vocational Integration with Faith and Mission
These are just a few thoughts on the top of my head... I hope I can attend. Charles
