Four members of the ISAAC Board attended the American Academy of Religion- Society of Biblical Literature meeting in Washington DC on Nov 18-21, 2006. At this meeting, ISAAC
1. Co-hosted the Korean North American Theology group extra-session.
2. Hosted a breakfast with evangelical Asian American scholars (seminary and religious studies faculty).
3. Co-hosted with PANA and the Lutheran Seminary in Philadelphia a dinner with Asian and Asian North American scholars.
4. Identified potential research grants opportunities.
It was an exciting experience - ISAAC was affirmed warmly by the community of religion and theology scholars. We hope that we will be able to strengthen greater efforts to study Asian American Christianity (and other religions) in the future.
The next AAR/SBL meeting will be held in San Diego, California on the weekend before Thanksgiving, 2007. See you there!
