Dr. Jonathan Tran lives with his family in Waco, TX, where he teaches theology and ethics at Baylor University. Originally from Vietnam, he grew up in southern California, went to school in North Carolina and now lives in Texas with his spouse, two teenagers, four cats and five chickens. His primary area of research is philosophical theology and is currently completing a book that attempts to reimagine how we think about antiracism.
The Gathering
The Gathering is a space for Asian Pacific American (APA) spirituality hosted by the Episcopal Church. It seeks to provide opportunities for conversation among APAs while exploring topics relevant to ministry among and for APAs in Los Angeles, specifically but not limited to Christians who identify themselves as Episcopalians. Some of our monthly gatherings center on panel conversations and discussions while others (local pilgrimages and art & music events) are more experiential. We intend The Gathering to also be a space for our non-APA allies to learn more about issues related to APA spirituality.
