1. Michael Lee: How Asian American Christians Can Pray Petitionary Prayers
“We are wasting our breath out of selfish ambition and selfish passion, whether our petitions and our priorities are more aligned with a specific tribe, or specific group rather than considering the heart of God and the truth of God for His people and for this world.”
2. Abraham Cho: Reclaiming the Spirituality of the Margins for the American Church
“When the only prayers available to you are prayers of praise, confession, and request, your response to suffering inevitably becomes easy, causal explanations, misplaced guilt, and pragmatic solutions. These are the instincts forged in the centers of power.”
3. Owen Y. Lee: Our Need for Righteous Anger Against Racism and Injustice
