ASIAN CENTER WILL PARTICIPATE IN PULPIT AND PEW
 The
Asian American Center at ABSW has been selected to facilitate a
portion of the Pulpit and the Pew Project, an interdenominational,
inter-faith research project focused on strengthening the quality
of pastoral leadership in America.
The Rev. Dr. Timothy Tseng, associate professor of American religious
history and director of the Asian American Center, has been named
to direct the Asian American component of the research project,
which is based at the Divinity School at Duke University in Durham,
N.C. and funded by the Lilly Endowment.
A $20,000 grant to the center will be used to develop a symposium
of scholars and church leaders in the next year to ascertain the
concerns and issues that Asian American clergy face.
Tseng says the grant represents a “deepening” of the
center’s ministries, moving it beyond providing continuing
education programs.
