Re-Indigenizing Christian Practices in the Korean Diaspora through Folk Magic Practices: Presentation and Q&A with Christine Hong

Sunday, June 29 at 7pm CST

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?

Arts & Culture Cohort

The Interfaith at Work Arts Cohort is a community and gathering of artists of any genre(s) and discipline(s). Whether your artistic practice is what you do full time or not, we’d love to engage with artists who want to use an interfaith lens to collaborate with artists of other worldviews and also celebrate artists who are working on individual projects. Art is an act of service and labor, and we want this space to be a space that pays and honors artists the best we can.
