There is a "blog-based" discussion about this new book at DJ Chuang's website (Click link above). With a few exceptions, I felt that most of the contributors to the book were too negative about first generation culture. I still think that one can't really be an "Asian American" without being fair and balanced to the "Asian" part of one's identity. Furthermore, to what degree are some the practices of these "healthy" churches genuinely "Asian American"? Or are they "white evangelical wannabe" practices? In any case, in my opinion, Asian American Christian leaders shouldn't simply mirror the "model minority" aspirations of the Asian American community. Should there also be some prophetic edge that seeks to give voice to Asian American Christians in church and society? - Tim Tseng
