Mark Driscoll’s William Wallace posts were already public. #TPCIU

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 11:24 pm By Justin Tse

For some reason, my satirical post on how Mark Driscoll is forensically justified after his plagiarism scandal last year is the most popular post on this blog of all time. I am having trouble understanding this. I write about a lot of things. I’ve been retweeted by Hong Kong’s democratic movement, Occupy Central with Love and Peace, for my posts on Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the legacy of Tiananmen. I write a ton about Asian Americans, and I’ve even used... Read more

Should Asian Americans/Canadians care about Hong Kong? Part 4: The UK Question

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 11:05 pm By Justin Tse

This is the fourth installment of a series on whether Asian Americans and Asian Canadians should be in solidarity with pro-democratic movements in Hong Kong. There are three previous posts available here, here, and here, and I strongly recommend reading those before you read this one on community organizing and the question of nostalgia for the United Kingdom’s colonial regime in Hong Kong. Well, well, well…they say that if you snooze, you lose. The latest news on Hong Kong is... Read more

Should Asian Americans/Canadians care about Hong Kong? Part 3: What’s Political Agency For?

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 10:55 pm By Justin Tse

You can follow earlier installations of this series in the following posts: Part 1: The Preschool Answer Part 2: The Asian American/Canadian Answer The current debate in Hong Kong’s public sphere is over the political agency of the people of Hong Kong. That they should have some degree of political agency is not even a question that’s on the table. The answer is yes. The question up for debate: what kind of political agency ought they to have? On one... Read more

Should Asian Americans/Canadians care about Hong Kong? Part 2: The Asian American/Canadian answer.

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 10:44 pm By Justin Tse

This series began yesterday with this more personal post here. I also have previous posts on the Taiwan Congress occupation, Hong Kong’s Occupy Central with Love and Peace, and the legacy of the Tiananmen student movement. It’s a very curious thing to ask whether Asian Americans and Asian Canadians should care about the political situation in Hong Kong. That’s because of how the term ‘Asian American’ – and its cognate, ‘Asian Canadian’ – were invented. Just to make things a... Read more

Should Asian Americans/Canadians care about Hong Kong? Part 1: The Preschool Answer

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 10:32 pm By Justin Tse

Previously, I’ve posted on Taiwan’s student movement, Hong Kong’s Occupy Central movement, and the Tiananmen student movement. Read them, if you’d like, for some background for how this current series has come about. When I was four, my American preschool teacher in Fremont, California asked me where my parents were from. I knew the answer because I had recently asked my mom whether being Chinese meant that we were from China. ‘No,’ she said, ‘we are from Hong Kong.’ ‘But... Read more

Chinglicans in Communion: in defence of Occupy Central with Love and Peace

Last updated on: July 28, 2016 at 2:15 am By Justin Tse

It has come to my attention that I need to respond to Archbishop Paul Kwong’s recent comments opposing the mass democratic movement in Hong Kong known as Occupy Central with Love and Peace (OCLP) in a confirmation homily during St. Paul’s Church’s Theological Education Sunday. I am fully aware that by doing so, Kwong will say of me, ‘Whenever people see me or other church leaders, they will say, “We must speak up! Speak up at all times, on everything, understand?...

What I hear most about the recent democratic happenings in Hong Kong and Taiwan is that there will be blood. I suppose the recipe for blood is all there. There are students. There’s democracy. There’s Beijing. There’s an occupation. And there are reports of the People’s Liberation Army training for emergency. The stage is set, it seems, for a second and perhaps third 6/4 incident. For those who need to be caught up, there was a student movement in 1989... Read more

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 10:22 pm By Justin Tse

On March 3, 2012, I marched from Hong Kong’s Victoria Park with a bunch of Christians under a banner that read, ‘We Are Pissed Off Too!’ I was in the thick of field work in Hong Kong. For all the legends that I’d heard about Victoria Park and its history as a site for democratic demonstrations, I’d never actually been to Victoria Park, and as much as I wanted to be at the prayer meeting prior to the protest that...

Chinglican Christianity: Sanctorum Communio

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 10:18 pm By Justin Tse

Roger Revell has hit the nail right on the head. There is nothing like full-bodied orthodox Christianity that elicits a rousing ‘Amen!’ from across the spectrum of those who are part of the diverse chorus of what St. Peter’s Fireside calls ‘classical Christianity.’ Revell’s brilliant response takes the wind right out of the sails of Douglas Todd’s suggestion that ‘conservative’ Christians are too heavenly minded for earthly good. Here’s Todd: This might shock those who assume the main reason Christians... Read more

We are now all sociologists of religion. #HobbyLobby

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 10:16 pm By Justin Tse

Today’s decision hot off the Supreme Court of the United States’s press presents a compelling case for why the social science of religion should be considered one of the core issues in today’s public academies. There are plenty of avenues to find out about today’s decision regarding Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties corporation, not least of which is reading the decision itself. In a 5-4 decision delivered by Justice Alito, SCOTUS has ruled that the 1993 Religious Freedom... Read more
