| Korean American Centennial Commemoration project director Terry Hong thought the August event was worth risking eternal damnation for skipping Mass on this Holy Day of Obligation. Thank goodness others did, too. | UCLA Anthropology Professor Kyeyoung Park joined us all the way from balmy California to talk about why Korean churches have virtually exploded across the country. | ||||
 |
 |
||||
| The good Reverend Sang-Jin Choi of Action for Peace Through Prayer and Aid (APPA) takes the podium. |
And the good Reverend makes an emphatic point about the history of Korean Americans and their strong involvement with their church communities. | ||||
 |
 |
||||
| Soon Paik, a ruling elder of the Korean Central Presbyterian Church in Vienna, speaks about his personal involvement and experiences in the Korean American church. |
The audience members listen intently about the uncertain future of Korean American churches in light of the loss of the newer generations, especially the non-Korean-church-attending children of current church members. | ||||

 |
||||
| It’s chow time! And the good food is finally back! |
More than a few people commented how happy and relieved they were to see the usual fabulous all-authentic Korean spread (thanks to Han Sung Oak) after a hiatus of a few months. | ||||

| Mmm, mmm, good indeed! Loyal KACC devotee Sogand Seirafi, Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program development wizard Francey Lim Youngberg, bicoastal amazing artist Lucy Arai and Terry Hong dine deliciously. | |||||
