주여, 우리에게기도를가르쳐주소서 David Kagiwada & NAPAD Sunday 데이빗가기와다및태평양아시안사역주일 September 8, 2013 AND NAPAD Ministry Week 태평양아시안목회주간 September 9-14, 2013 Rev. Janet Casey-Allen Allen, Moderator North American Pacific/Asian Disciples August 2013 Rev. Jinsuk Chun,, Executive Pastor 130 E. Washington St. Indianapolis, IN 46204 Website: www.napad.net. Phone: (317) 713-2685 David Kagiwada & NAPAD Sunday, Moderator s Message Each year on the second Sunday of September, the celebration of NAPAD Ministry Week begins with the David Kagiwada Memorial Service. Who is David Kagiwada and what relevance does he have to the rest of the Disciples Church? David died in 1985, and he did not leave a legacy of having published great theological books, nor personal wealth to fund foundations in support of Disciple ministries. By all appearances, David Kagiwada was simply a very ordinary person, a local pastor whose life on earth was cut short by cancer. However, David was also one of several Japanese American Disciples pastors and lay leaders who were interned in American concentration camps during World War II. Thus, David and his family suffered a great injustice during his formative years in the U.S. So did many other Disciples, both of Asian and non-asian heritages. So what is the significance of dedicating one Sunday in the Disciple church calendar to remember and honor this Japanese American pastor? I met David in 1978 when the Consultation for Asian Ministries was sponsored by Homeland Ministries. David was the first Japanese I got to know as a person. I grew up hearing about the torture techniques of occupying Japanese forces during World War II. My mother and other relatives had lived under the Japanese Occupation and told several gory stories. Needless to say, I was influenced by personal accounts and history books about the cruelty of the Japanese Army in China, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Malaya, Guam, Borneo, Mongolia, and other places. Then there was David, leading the group of Asian Disciples to pursue advocacy and justice. Here was a man who suffered the injustice and humiliation of the internment experience yet, because of his relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, was not embittered. - 1 - During the last year of David s life, Lee Ching Ling, a member of Crestview Christian Church who emigrated from China, said that David was a very compassionate person and a tremendous pastor. Ching Ling and I made out a schedule to cook Chinese food for David on a regular basis. David jokingly said that in his last days, he was glad to have me as his spiritual director. Two women who grew up distrusting and fearing the Japanese were led by the Holy Spirit to care for one who was associated ethnically with the occupying Japanese forces. Through the Grace of God, we realized that he, too, had been a victim of the occupation and a great injustice. We were healed by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw Christ in David, and he experienced Christ in us. God used a very ordinary man and two ordinary women to proclaim reconciliation and healing in an unjust world. Most of the constituency of NAPAD has experienced the Japanese Occupation. Yet we come together on David Kagiwada Memorial Sunday to recognize and affirm a Japanese Disciple. This is the power of the Cross and the Resurrection, the efficacy of Christ s love to heal and transform people. David Kagiwada Memorial Sunday is a reminder that each one of us can be healed and transformed to become reconcilers in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Shalom, Rev. Dr. Janet Casey-Allen Moderator of the Board of Directors of NAPAD

Material for Sunday Preaching & Weekly Studying (1) KODOMO NO TAME NI For the Sake of Our Children Presented by JoAnne Kagiwada at the Wednesday Morning Gathering in General Assembly, Orlando, Florida on July 13-17, 2013. The phrase kodomo no ta-me ni (for the sake of our children) was used as a mantra throughout the Japanese American community in the 1940s and '50s as a call to the critical mission of making sure the events of World War II would never be repeated. Through drama and personal reflection, JoAnne Kagiwada and Young Lan Kim explored the internment of Japanese Americans in the U.S. and issued the call to Disciples that such injustice never happen again. Kagiwada directed the final lobbying push for an official apology and reparations from the U.S. government for the 65,000 Japanese Americans interred during the war. Following graduation from law school, she directed the Disciples of Christ work in international affairs, representing the denomination at the National Council of Churches. On October 9, 1990, the Great Hall in the U.S. Department of Justice was filled to capacity, with everyone s attention riveted on nine elderly individuals seated on the dais. They all were over 90 years old. The oldest was 107. We watched as Attorney General Dick Thornburgh dropped to his knees to reach their wheelchairs and handed each of them a statement of apology signed by President George H.W. Bush and a U.S. government check for $20,000. These were the first payments under the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 the landmark law in which the nation formally apologized for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and pledged to pay $1.25 billion to more than 60,000 internees still alive on August 10, 1988, the date that President Reagan signed the bill into law. 2013 marks the 25 th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Liberties Act. World War II is almost ancient history, not within the lifetimes of many who are here. For some, our families were not living in this country yet. And most of us who are old enough to remember World War II didn t hear this story then. Some of us recall the weekly newsreels at the movie theater. Do you remember how the world changed in 1980 when CNN began its 24 hour news coverage around the globe? Now some of us post and tweet and blog spreading news almost before it happens. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japanese fighter planes marked U.S. entry into World War II at the end of 1941. Citing military necessity, the government posted orders in public places in the West Coast states, instructing all persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien the old, the young, the infirm, and children, including orphans -- to report to designated Reception Centers from which they were moved to temporary assembly centers (often horse stalls at local county fairgrounds or race tracks) while permanent encampments were being constructed. Some were given only one day s notice. Forced to leave homes, businesses, farms, and limited to bringing only what they could carry, Japanese American families were herded onto buses and trains guarded by armed soldiers and taken to 10 camps located in remote, desolate areas of the country. The government justified this action as a preventive measure made necessary by the high risk of sabotage or attack on U.S. strategic installations. When government documents were finally declassified in the 1970 s, there was not one single incident to support this assertion. - 3 -
More than 110 thousand people spent the war years in those concentration camps. Entire families were crowded into one-room units in crudely constructed barracks surrounded by barbed wire and sentry towers which were manned by guards with their rifles pointed at the residents. The barracks were lined up, row upon row, each holding six families. The dividing walls did not reach the ceiling. Privacy did not exist. Other barracks held communal latrines, communal bathing facilities and communal dining halls. Two/thirds of those folks were U.S. citizens by birth (another term for what the government posters had designated as non-alien). In 1790, Congress passed a law stating that only free white aliens could become naturalized citizens. In 1870 the law was broadened to include people born in Africa or of African descent. Thus their immigrant parents were barred by law from becoming naturalized citizens. The McCarran Walter Act finally gave the right to citizenship to all immigrants. In 1952. The internment in the concentration camps was so traumatic, so shameful to have suffered through, it was too painful to talk about. Most did not talk about what had happened, even within their own families. They hoped that silence would erase the awful memories. When their children became old enough to ask, their questions were often left unanswered or deflected. The psychological price of trying to deal with such devastating pain was very costly. It s understandable that there was a significant level of ambivalence within the community when in the 1970 s, some began to advocate calling upon the government to provide monetary redress for the injustices that the internment had inflicted upon Japanese Americans. It was the younger generation, immersed in the activism of the civil rights movement, who demanded that our government be called into account for such egregious violations of a whole community s human rights and civil liberties. This righteous activism clashed with resounding dissonance against the protective armor of silence that internees had constructed for their personal survival. Over time, consensus began to build that redress was not about monetary payment. Redress was about the healing of wounds through confronting injustice. And in the end, the constitutional rights rationale was agreed upon and Americans of Japanese ancestry asserted their right to petition the government for redress of grievances. A Congressional commission held public hearings in ten cities across the nation. It heard testimony from government and military officials and former internees. Young and old together, children and grandchildren listened to their elders and helped them to write down what had happened. Reluctant to step forward, internees shared stories expressing emotions that had never before been uttered out loud not even within their own families. In the process a collective memory began to emerge, crossing generational lines. As individual stories became community stories, the healing process began. There was a growing understanding of the need for the younger generations to know this traumatic history as part of their own life story. The community acted for the sake of the children. From the hearings, the commission issued a two-volume report titled Personal Justice Denied. Their report expressly repudiated the military necessity rationale for the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans. It further cited racial prejudice, war hysteria and a failure of political leadership as the broad historical causes of those orders. The commission s recommendations for a government apology, individual compensation and an educational foundation became the basis for the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 enacted by Congress. A good friend was pastor of a Disciples church in Ohio. He was asked to speak to his fellow pastors at one of their regular noon-time meetings. A mild and gentle person, he shared his family s experiences during the war. One of the pastors became very agitated, banged his fist on the table and shouted at him: You re lying! Our government would never do a thing like that! and he stomped angrily out of the room. - 4 -
The redress campaign had two goals. One was the government apology and symbolic monetary award hopefully significant enough to deter future violations of constitutional rights, but also clearly understood as a symbolic token never to be considered a price tag for such rights. Just as important to the community was the second goal: to ensure that what had happened to Japanese Americans would never be allowed to happen again to any other group of people. I headed the office in Washington that managed the lobbying and education efforts during the final phase of the redress campaign -- that is, securing the appropriations to fund the government monetary awards that were promised in the Civil Liberties Act. As many of you know, there s a difference between authorizing funds and appropriating them. Committed and influential leadership in the Senate was key to the success of this campaign. But how could a small minority group, mostly living on the West Coast, not politically powerful, get Senators and Representatives all across the country to support appropriations for something that happened almost 50 years ago? Without the huge outpouring of support of faith groups and civil liberties organizations whose constituencies lived in all those places across the country where there were very few, if any, Japanese Americans, but were strongly convicted in their hearts that a grave injustice had occurred, I am very sure that the story would have a different ending. And that poignant longawaited celebration at the Hall of Justice would not have happened. Following the 9/11 bombings of the World Trade Center, there were angry demands for reprisals against the terrorist attackers. In the minds of many, that anger and suspicion was directed at a particular group of people, based on racial profiling. The Japanese American community remembered and spoke out collectively and as individuals to remind us all that what happened during World War II should not happen again. We know that a threat upon the rights of one group is a threat to the whole. We live in turbulent times. We struggle with an onslaught of polarizing cultural and political issues. And there are no easy answers no crystal clear logic that is persuasive and irrefutable. Sometimes, I am faced with the reality that what I believe is true and right is in direct opposition to a friend s conclusion. For me, there is wisdom learned from the Japanese American community s struggle with redress. We learn from each other and we seek to do the best that we can, acting for the sake of our children. Almost every day, we learn of another act of terrorism or violence. The parents of the children who were gunned down at Sandy Hook school in Newton, Connecticut share their stories hoping that others will join them in working for ways for our nation to combat gun violence. Grieving the terrible tragedy that they have suffered, they are moved to act for the sake of all our children. Emotions run high in describing the dire consequences of an immigration system that is not working, but in spite of more and more enforcement measures, increasing border security does not seem to be the solution. Some parents seeking a better life for their young children came to this country without legal immigrant status. Now those children are confronted by the fact that their parents actions will thwart their aspirations to fulfill the American dream of education and meaningful work. Surely we need to find a way to make our national immigration policy work better for the sake of our children. Gathered here at the General Assembly, we find ourselves in the midst of difficult discussions about how we live into the community of grace-filled life in the ministry of the church who does that include? Are sexual orientation and gender identification barriers to who can share in fellowship as the body of Christ? Perhaps, but we all know that this puts us at risk of excluding our children from this holy fellowship. I believe that the love of God is working through us. We are called to share our stories with each other and explore the path of faith together. Offering each other encouragement and celebrating the joys of discovery, we strive to be faithful witnesses of God s love and grace. We know that we are all one in God s family and what we do for the sake of our children is for the sake of all God s children. Kodomo no tame ni. - 5 -
Material for Sunday Preaching & Weekly Studying (2) Jesus Way to Win Against Discrimination: The Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) Spoken by Rev. Jinsuk Chun for the Tuesday Reconciliation Breakfast at General Assembly in Orlando, Florida, on July 13-18. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. I appreciate Rev. April Johnson for giving me this opportunity to share my faith and thoughts in this wonderful breakfast meeting of Anti-racism and Pro-reconciliation. As you know, I have worked as Executive Pastor since the last summer. Rev. Dr. Geunhee Yu, my predecessor, left me with much valuable advice. He said that I should participate in Anti-racism and Pro-reconciliation ministries very, very actively. That was self-evident for me, so I am doing my utmost to fully participate in these ministries. This morning, I would like to share with you about the too-famous phrase by Jesus, as people like to call the Golden Rule. However, I do not want to see these words through the ethical perspective, but through the Christian worldview. The commandment, So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, means that we need have a new way of thinking or lifestyle. My interpretation is that we need the mindset of "YOU ARE GOD S PRECIOUS CHILD. In truth, such a lifestyle has been the essence of God s words from OT to NT. I m confident that when we live such a life style, we can find clear ways to destroy any kind of discrimination in our life. I grew up in a family dominated with a culture of severe sexual discrimination. I remember that when my girl cousins visited my house and ate together with us, my grandmother took their rice bowls away from our table, brought them to the kitchen, and arranged a separated table for them. And she scolded them with harsh words, how dare you sit together with your uncles? But, I, as a male and the first son, was always allowed to eat with them. I almost always had feelings of guilt towards my girl cousins and treated them very kindly, but I never protested against my grandmother and I never tried to correct such discriminating culture. I was tolerant towards my girl cousins, while enjoyed all kinds of benefits given to me. There coexisted two different attitudes in me, which was really bad. I grew up in such a family culture and I felt some pain. That's when I decided that our family must not live in such a culture. When I arrived in the US, my first daughter, Sarah, was seven years old. My prayer was that she could adapt well to her new life in America without culture shock. She initially could not speak English and had no friends. After six months of Sarah attending her first class at elementary school in Claremont, CA, we received a letter from school saying that Sarah would be awarded for her academic excellence, and we were invited to a celebration event. Do you know what my immediate response to her was? If you were me, how would you respond to her? Yes, good job! Congratulations! I m proud of you! And so on. But my response was different. It was how many students will get the award? I could not forget my daughter s face at that time. She could not understand my question at all. She just looked at me. My response was almost automatic. It was the immediate response coming from my thought or worldview that being number one over everyone else can help her earn respect and dignity from her society. Such an idea was prevalent for me. I thought that there was no other way except through excelling in education for my girls to live with dignity in a racially, sexually, and culturally discriminating society. I likely believed that through personal - 6 -
achievement, my kids could be freed from such limitations. At the time, I had no concern for structural discrimination. But, I had a horrible experience to help me think of the life as minority in our society. You can remember that some years ago a Korean American student of Virginia tech shot innocent students on campus. This senseless and tragic behavior had a huge impact on the Korean community and me also. The first response was rage and then fear the fear of possible reaction to Koreans with physical violence by society. People said that it was personal misbehavior, and it was not an ethnic issue. It is a reasonable argument. In fact, many media outlets were careful not to represent in a wrong way such a tragic occurrence. But many Koreans could not think with that way. They suffered from psychological pressure and pain just because he was Korean. It is the general response happening in societies in which structural prejudice and discrimination against minority groups exist. Although it may be different in terms of intensity, I have experienced the same thing in Korea, Germany, and USA. When a leader from a minority group makes a mistake, she/he must be blamed with This is Asian, This is Korean, This is woman. Therefore, they must exert themselves twice as much, because their mistake brings about the blame to their own race or sex. To break down this evil pattern, personal ethical behavior and social politics are not enough. We need to change our fundamental ways of life, worldview, and paradigm. I, as a Christian, want to implement a lifestyle in which I always regard You as a God s precious child. The tolerance of minor groups may be just an act of sharing small pieces among the social majority. Regarding You as a God s precious child is not tolerance. It is the recognition of fact. It is the brave act to recognize and confirm that You are a God s precious child beyond the difference of sex and color. All of us were created in God s image and given great gifts. So there must be better things in all humans. Confucius once said, Whenever three friends walk together, you can ALWAYS find a teacher among them. I believe that Jesus taught us exactly the same thing. When we recognize and celebrate the fact that you are God s precious child in a culturally and racially diverse society, we can open the way in which we can break down the structure of discrimination and re-establish a new human relationship. - 7 -
