Asian/Asian American Open Letter to Princeton Theological Seminary

MDIV 2009

M.Div 2004 I was part of the group of students who changed KAPTS to AAPTS in 2003 and also wrote a letter to Professors Blount and Taylor when they lumped Asia, Latin America, and Africa into one week on the syllabus for their Cultural Hermeneutics class with nothing for Asian Americans, though there were separate weeks for African American, Latin@, Womanist, Feminist, Fundamentalist, etc. They were very responsive at the time, but it's disappointing to hear that more than a decade later things haven't changed at PTS.

I totally agree with this important concern. Thanks for writing this petition.

Because it's 2016. AAPIs are the fastest-growing racial minority in the U.S. It's about time.

MDiv/MACE 2011 PhD, anticipated 2017 Thank you all for writing this.

Thank u for your work, AAPTS.

Standing in solidarity with my friends and colleagues here at PTS. Praying that the Seminary would take action to honor and consider these concerns moving forward.

MDiv 1993. This is a well-thought out proposal. I hope the PTS administration will proceed along these lines.
