'WATERWIND' CONFERENCE TO EXPLORE WORSHIP
Contextualizing worship for Asian American ministry settings is
the theme of the 2003 Drexler Lectures, to be held March 22 at ABSW.
Waterwind: An Asian American Worship Conference is
sponsored by the seminarys Asian American Center.
Dr. Ken
Fong, senior pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church in Los Angeles,
will be the keynote speaker. Dr.
Russell Yee, formerly pastor at New Life Christian Fellowship
in Castro Valley, Calif., will also speak. Last fall Yee taught
an ABSW course on worship in Asian American settings and is the
driving force behind the conference.
The Waterwind conference is meant to help meet the urgent
need for an Asian American voice in worship, says
Dr. Tim Tseng, associate professor of American religious history
and director of the Asian American Center. We hope it will
inspire a network of exceptional Asian American worship leaders
in the Bay Area.
Dr. Frederic I. Drexler helped found California Baptist Theological
Seminary, which merged with Berkeley Baptist Divinity School to
form ABSW. This endowed lectureship seeks to honor Dr. Drexlers
particular passions for evangelism and spiritual formation among
seminarians.
