A lunch conversation with Jin Young Choi, PhD
For GTU and UC Berkeley students & faculty (other schools welcome)

How should Christians respond to global crises such as economic inequality, international migration, and climate change? Jin Young Choi, PhD, is professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. She is the author of Postcolonial Discipleship of Embodiment: An Asian and Asian American Feminist Reading of the Gospel of Mark. By weaving biblical narratives together with diverse interpretative threads, her work focuses on the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality, class, and empire. Dr. Choi invites us to perceive the presence of the mystery amidst our life together in solidarity with those invisible, voiceless, and displaced in today’s world. At this free luncheon, Dr. Choi will provide a brief presentation on these themes, and then open the time up for conversation. 

Free Admission.

Dr. Choi will also give a public lecture entitled “The Mystery of the Divine Economy” on Saturday, April 22nd. Learn more and register here:
