Description
Cultural change is not coming from top tier leadership but from groundswells of those on the edges. This workshop will identify strategies to bring movement to a God-given calling even when there has been no formal invitation to lead. A case study will detail the journey of the NOW Movement which was started with one marginalized voice and resulted in a robust collective that emboldens followers to pursue racial justice. In a pandemic of dissension found even within the church, leaders must learn to steward their voices and their relational capital to create the change that is desired.
Rev. Christine Youn Hung is a pastor, writer, speaker, and the Director of Pastoral Development for the Northern California District Church of the Nazarene. Prior to this, Christine served as pastor of Trinity Church, a multi-ethnic church serving in the Los Angeles area. Christine also served as a missionary teacher in Taipei, Taiwan for three years.
She is a frequent guest speaker for conferences, workshops, college campuses, retreats, and pastor-training days.
Christine is also the founder of NOW Movement, a grassroots initiative coordinating efforts of Nazarenes in USA and Canada who are emboldened by the Spirit to pursue racial justice.
