About Jihyung

Born, educated, and ordained in South Korea. I, INFJ in MBTI, love biking, hiking, and being with my wife and two high schoolers. I was dedicated to campus and church ministry in Korea and the US, and I aspire to explore God’s guidance at Fuller. With a softly left-wing and pro-missionary stance in Neo-Calvinism preference, as a slow learner, I struggle with the inner homogenous tendency in the polycentric world with interests expanding in self-theologizing, World Christianity, intercultural theology, and contextualization in the ritual change. “What’s the most nationalistic is the most international” (J. W. von Goethe) – how might self and others be interconnected in theology and mission? How can the most local be the most global? Exploring the definition and agent of self-theologizing beyond/in the postmodern and postcolonial theology and mission. I humbly welcome any critical and productive conversation for learning.
