  • The Korean-American Methodists' Response to the UMC Debate Over
    religions Article Loving My New Neighbor: The Korean-American Methodists’ Response to the UMC Debate over LGBTQ Individuals in Everyday Life Jeyoul Choi Department of Religion, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The recent nationwide debate of American Protestant churches over the ordination and consecration of LGBTQ clergymen and laypeople has been largely divisive and destructive. While a few studies have paid attention to individual efforts of congregations to negotiate the heated conflicts as their contribution to the denominational debate, no studies have recounted how post-1965 immigrants, often deemed as “ethnic enclaves apart from larger American society”, respond to this religious issue. Drawing on an ethnographic study of a first-generation Korean Methodist church in the Tampa Bay area, Florida, this article attempts to fill this gap in the literature. In brief, I argue that the Tampa Korean-American Methodists’ continual exposure to the Methodist Church’s larger denominational homosexuality debate and their personal relationships with gay and lesbian friends in everyday life together work to facilitate their gradual tolerance toward sexual minorities as a sign of their accommodation of individualistic and democratic values of American society. Keywords: homosexuality and LGBTQ people; United Methodist Church; post-1965 immigrants; Korean-American evangelicals Citation: Choi, Jeyoul. 2021. Loving My New Neighbor: The Korean-American Methodists’ Response to the UMC Debate over 1. Introduction LGBTQ Individuals in Everyday Life. The discourses of homosexuality and LGBTQ individuals in American Protestantism Religions 12: 561. https://doi.org/ are polarized by the research that enunciates each denomination’s theological stance 10.3390/rel12080561 and conflicts over the case studies of individual sexual minorities’ struggle within their congregations.

  • When You Consider Ordination
    WHEN YOU CONSIDER ORDINATION CONSERVATIVE CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE April 2017 CONTENTS Ff When Considering Ordination • What is the call to Christian Ministry? • Who Should be Ordained? • The Local Church’s Responsibility The Candidate for Ordination • Preparation of Ordination Paper • Recommended Resources for Theological Development The Examination by the Vicinage Council • Some Suggested Forms WHEN CONSIDERING ORDINATION TO CHRISTIAN MINISTRY Ff It is a great and awesome privilege to be ordained or to help someone prepare for ordination. This pamphlet has been designed with candidates for ordination and ordaining churches in mind to help them understand what is involved in the ordina- tion process. To candidates, God’s Word says, “If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task” (I Tim.3:1). Our prayer is that God would raise up and call many into His service who are scripturally qualified, Spirit-filled, and zealous for His name. To churches, God’s Word says, “Everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way” (I Cor. 14:40). When we follow this Biblical admonition, we are a model to the candidate, and we reflect the importance we place on ordination. According to By-law VI, Section 2 of our Constitution and By-laws, “A candidate for Ordination to the Christian Ministry and subsequent ministerial membership in this Conference will be expected to have a life which is bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and which is marked by deep spirituality and the best of ethical practices. The candidate may be disqualified by any habits or WHEN YOU CONSIDER ORDINATION practices in his life which do not glorify God in his body, which belongs to God, or which might cause any brother in Christ to stumble.” By-law IV, Section 2, states: “A ministerial standing in this Conference shall require: (1) A minimum academic attainment of a diploma from an accredited Bible institute or the equivalent in formal education or Christian service.

  • Name Index to Photograph Collection
    Name Index to Photograph Collection What follows is a name index only to the Finnish American Historical Archives' Historic Photograph Collection (Old Topical File). See Archival Finding Aids for a complete listing of this collection. When more than one surname was indicated concerning one photo, the entry with the first surname lists all of the individuals, while each additional surname is also listed individually. The metadata concerning each photograph is limited to whatever information is available on the object, often revealing limitations to the information about each object (for example, a mounted card photo that simply states "Mrs. Maki," or an group photo that only includes surnames). Another limitation is the legibility and clarity of the handwriting. This name index was created by Larissa Poyhonen in the summer of 2010, while performing preservation work on this collection. Megan Ott transcribed the Knights of Kaleva Convention Photograph in November, 2010. The index was edited and prepared for the Internet by Kent Randell. This index also includes the Knights of Kaleva Convention Photograph, August, 1910 The index also includes the pictures included in the book Tervehdys Suomelle, published in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1920.

  • The Abrahamic Faiths
    8: Historical Background: the Abrahamic Faiths Author: Susan Douglass Overview: This lesson provides background on three Abrahamic faiths, or the world religions called Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is a brief primer on their geographic and spiritual origins, the basic beliefs, scriptures, and practices of each faith. It describes the calendars and major celebrations in each tradition. Aspects of the moral and ethical beliefs and the family and social values of the faiths are discussed. Comparison and contrast among the three Abrahamic faiths help to explain what enabled their adherents to share in cultural, economic, and social life, and what aspects of the faiths might result in disharmony among their adherents. Levels: Middle grades 6-8, high school and general audiences Objectives: Students will: Define “Abrahamic faith” and identify which world religions belong to this group. Briefly describe the basic elements of the origins, beliefs, leaders, scriptures and practices of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Compare and contrast the basic elements of the three faiths. Explain some sources of harmony and friction among the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths based on their beliefs. Time: One class period, or outside class assignment of 1 hour, and ca. 30 minutes class discussion. Materials: Student Reading “The Abrahamic Faiths”; graphic comparison/contrast handout, overhead projector film & marker, or whiteboard. Procedure: 1. Copy and distribute the student reading, as an in-class or homework assignment. Ask the students to take notes on each of the three faith groups described in the reading, including information about their origins, beliefs, leaders, practices and social aspects. They may create a graphic organizer by folding a lined sheet of paper lengthwise into thirds and using these notes to complete the assessment activity.

  • Priesthood Ordination
    Priesthood Ordination The most humbling task of a bishop, and at the same time a great joy and privilege, is to ordain a priest for service to the Church. It is humbling because it is a moment when the power of Jesus uses a weak human instrument to continue what Jesus did on the night before the died, insuring that his great sacrifice, offered once for all on the Cross on Good Friday, would continue to be with his people. So many of you here have helped bring these deacons to the altar of ordination today. To parents and other family members, to priests, teachers, seminary professors and schoolmates, to friends and associates, I express the thanks of the Archdiocese for your special role. Later, I shall speak in greater detail. Also, I want to call attention to a step that makes today’s Ordination Mass more like other Masses: there will be a collection, and the ordination class has determined that the collection will be divided into three parts, one-third for the education of future priests, one-third for our inner city schools, and one-third for the needs of the Cathedral Church we are privileged to use today. Those to be ordained today have chosen the readings from the word of God that give a color, a flavor, a sense of what is to happen here in the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. The Church as well, through the extraordinary ministry of Pope John Paul H, to whom the deacons referred in their presentation to me, has made a contribution.
