A Faith of Our Own investigates the development and growth of these houses of worship, a recent and rapidly increasing phenomenon in major cities throughout the United States. Immigration historians have depicted the second-generation as a transitional generation--on the steady march toward the inevitable decline of ethnic identity and allegiance. Sharon Kim suggests an alternative path. By harnessing religion and innovatively creating hybrid religious institutions, second-generation Korean Americans are assertively defining and shaping their own ethnic and religious futures. Rather than assimilating into mainstream American evangelical churches or inheriting the churches of their immigrant parents, second-generation pastors are creating their own hybrid third space--new autonomous churches that are shaped by multiple frames of reference. Including data gathered over ten years at twenty-two churches, A Faith of Our Own is the most comprehensive study of this topic that addresses generational, identity, political, racial, and empowerment issues. 606 $aKorean Americans$xReligion 606 $aKorean Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aKorean American churches 615 0$aKorean Americans$xReligion. 615 0$aKorean Americans 615 0$aKorean American churches. 676 $a277.94/94083089957 700 $aKim$b Sharon$f1969-$01720871 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822885603321 996 $aA faith of our own$94119933 997 $aUNINA
