Back in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Hong Kong 🇭🇰 for the first time since 2019. Is the sun rising or setting? Actually, it depends on how well you know this city.

Beyond excited to dive into this one. Thanks to the diligence of Chloe Starr (Yale Divinity), Chinese theology is getting a landmark three volume collection of English language essays that goes both deep and wide, a gift for the world church to reconsider theology as a whole.

Pivoting from Buechner’s novel, Godric, to Dostoyevsky’s insufferable classic, Notes from the Underground. Saints and sinners rambling on about their struggles shows us we’re all actually just lonely humans.

As I prepare for ordination in the American Baptist Church, I’m trying to set aside some time here and there to get a better sense of the tradition I am stepping into. One of its great legacies is its heart for holistic mission. This little handbook helps sets the stage.

I just finished reading Godric, a novel by the late Frederick Buechner. I picked it up a few days after he passed on Aug 15 2022 and it’s taken me a year to journey through this slim yet heavy volume, an imagined life of sorrow and hope that will not soon depart my heart and mind. Thanks be to God.
