Reviews
Simon Kim expands the story of the Catholic Church in the United States beyond the more familiar narratives of European and Latin American immigration to show the unique gifts that Asian Catholics bring. More than just history or sociology, Kim narrates the confluence of Vatican II, immigration reform, and the civil rights movement in the 1960s as movements of the Holy Spirit, the fruits of which we are just beginning to appreciate today. This book is a timely and beautiful contribution to unity through diversity in the US Catholic Church. William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University
This book is small if measured by pages alone; its brevity, however, is no obstacle to its largeness of vision and enthusiasm. The book is a welcome contribution to contemporary ecclesiology. Richard Lennan, Theological Studies This book is a careful reflection of the courageous theological journey from Vatican II to its impact on Asian immigrant communities in North America. It is truly a development to be celebrated.

Author Information
As a theologian of culture, Simon C. Kim focuses on doing theology within a particular context. His own experience of church and identity is the impetus for his theological reflections as he strives to make faith generationally and culturally relevant. His stories, experiences, and theological reflection resonate both with initial immigrants and with the next generation and have won high praise from both groups as they draw on their Catholic faith to navigate their way in Church and society. His publications reveal his level of academia and illustrate the bridging of his theological endeavors and pastoral engagements.
