3rd Asian American Equipping Symposium

March 19-20, 2012; At Fuller Seminary (Pasadena, California)

The third Asian American Equipping Symposium will address the crucial yet often overlooked issue of Asian American family systems.  To bring “healing of memories,” several concerns will be dealt with during this symposium.  Both external and internal push and pull factors inflict conflict and wounds.  The external factors include immigration, worldview conflict, and cultural dislocation.  The internal factors include lopsided power dynamics in family relationships: between husband and wife and between parents and children.  Yet, the essential needs of healing for families and churches are hijacked by exhausting tasks and demands for numerical “success” in ministry.  Therefore, the objective of the third AAES is to create space for healing by uncovering wounded memories to re-member them.  Program includes understanding the impact of traditional Asian traditional values on family systems and the conflicts between eastern and western values.  Workshops, facilitated by experienced Asian American therapists, will serve as an integral component in personal healing of ministry leaders.
