This week on Centering, Dr. Kenneth Woo shares how his own Chinese American refugee heritage reshaped the way he reads Calvin, and how reframing Calvin as a refugee can open space for Asian American believers to see themselves not as perpetual guests in the Reformed tradition, but as genuine heirs and contributors.

Dr. Kenneth Woo is the P.C. Rossin Professor of Church History and Historical Theology at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and author of John Calvin, Refugee Theologian: Introducing a Reformer in Exile.

“Which box do I check? Who am I allowed to be?”

Many mixed identity kids are forced to choose long before they even understand race and ethnicity.
