Christian Universalism and U.S. Multiculturalism: An “Asian American” Campus Church

In this paper, we observe a burgeoning Asian American campus Christian church (AAC), which until recently was almost exclusively Korean American. In the name of Christian universalism, the AAC is critically transforming itself into an Asian American-led, multicultural church. In spite of its changing composition, some congregants remain unconvinced that the church is really so transformed; in fact, some members continue to think of the church as a "Korean American" institution. We examine the relationship between the AAC's two largest ethnic groups, Korean Americans and Chinese/Taiwanese Americans. We are interested in how these two church populations navigate the AAC's changing self-identity. We argue that the AAC's commitment to Christian universalism echoes the central tenets of U.S. multiculturalism: race neutrality and the doctrine of universal humanity.
