about

The Rev. Dr. Jin H. Cho is an Anglican priest committed to helping local congregations have courageous conversations about race and justice. He received his doctorate of ministry from Fuller Seminary for his project to encourage such dialogue among pastors in his city entitled “Race, Evangelicalism, and the Local Church.”

He leads a diocesan task force for diversity and inclusion, and works with the Brehm Center (Fuller Seminary) to help pastors integrate worship, preaching, and justice. He has over twenty years of experience leading churches, and is currently working on a missional church plant in Orange County, California. He and his far more interesting wife Esther have two extremely extroverted teenagers.

Quotable

“I’m trying to do two things.
One is to create a safe space in which people’s defensiveness and the temperature of the room can go down so that there’s a space for us to ask questions and learn from each other.  And then the other thing that I want to remind people is that this space should also be a brave space. To say that it’s a brave space is also to say that we want to be a space in which we can be honest about our pains.”

Bonus Episode with Rev. bill haley + Bishop todd hunter

about this episode

In this Bonus episode of Peace Talks (originally recorded for Coracle’s For the Journey podcast), Rev. Bill Haley and Bishop Todd Hunter talk about the online conference they are co-hosting called, “Do You Want To Be Well?”

The threads of Christian nationalism, racism and white supremacy, and patriarchy are not often discussed constructively in the same conversation—and we rarely explore paths toward healing.

This online conference will offer something different: opportunities for hope, healing, and spiritual practice.⁠

Quotable

“Jesus coming and becoming like us reiterates the dignity of this world, of our lived experience, the value that it has for us. And the promise of resurrection says it’s all gonna matter. This doesn’t all just go away—it is restored, it is resurrected. So for Christians, caring about art is really an extension of our belief in the importance of the creation, an extension of our belief in the miracle of the incarnation, an extension of our belief in the hope of the resurrection.”
