This talk discusses the integration of ancestral veneration and folk magic with Christian practice to re-indigenize Christianity in Korean Diasporic context and embodiment. Moving away from the negative stereotypes associated with syncretism emphasized by many streams of theological thought, how might Christianity, interpreted through ancestor veneration and folk magic practices, embrace both embodied Christian theologies and Mugyo in authentic and holistic ways for people in diaspora?

We'll also start with some breakout room time so you can get to know your fellow cohort members!
