Who we are

We are a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles that provides opportunities for Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) to gather together to tell our stories, learn from one another, engage in initiatives for peace and social justice, and talk about spirituality in the APA context.

Asian Pacific Americans have often been invisible to our churches, whether in involvement or invitation. APAs are diverse. Some are recent immigrants with documents or without, others have been Americans for many generations; from East, South, Southeast, and Western Asia, as well as the islands of the Pacific; many are intermarried within Asian ethnic groups as well to people from other races. The Gathering is a space for all of this diversity.

We also welcome non-APAs to join us, to learn about our spirituality and to take concrete steps to grow the multicultural church. 

And you don’t have to be Episcopalian! We welcome seekers, people from other denominations and faith traditions to share this space and all that will emerge from it.

 We hope to see you soon!
