From Korea-
In response to the invitation from Most Rev. Paul Kim, the Episcopal Asiamerica Ministries has chosen the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Nicholas to be the venue of International Consultation that is scheduled from September 30 to October 5.
The consultation bears the theme, "Celebrating our Partnerships; Uniting Our Mission." EAM council president Rev. Bayani Rico says Most Rev. Kim invited them to join the celebration of the 125th foundation anniversary of Anglican Church in Korea, which is why the EAM has chosen to hold the consultation in Seoul.
"I am so excited about this consultation in Korea and it would not have been possible without the support from the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society," says Rev. Rico, as noted by Episcopal Digital Network on Tuesday.More here-

From Charisma News-
Asian-American Christians are voicing concerns over how they’re depicted by white evangelicals, most recently at a conference hosted by Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in California.
Saddleback recently hosted a conference by Exponential, a church-planting group, and a video on Oct. 8 left some Asian-Americans offended.
It’s the second dust-up in as many months involving Asian-Americans and Warren, who spoke at the Exponential conference. Last month he received backlash from Asian-American Christians after he posted a Facebook photo depicting the Red Guard during China’s Cultural Revolution. “The typical attitude of Saddleback Staff as they start work each day,” the caption read on Sept. 23.
Warren later posted an apology.
In the video at Exponential, a pastor jokes about making his church-planting apprentice do menial activities, such as getting him coffee, giving him massages and holding his towel, according to the Rev. Christine Lee, a Korean-American Episcopal priest who attended the conference.
