Researching and writing on race, religion, and belonging:
I earned a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at Indiana University and interested in American religions especially exploring gender and race in the U.S. with an emphasis on Asian American cultural productions, citizenship, and transpacific Christianities. I am an adjunct faculty member of Iliff School of Theology.
I am an ordained clergy in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and serve as co-pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Annapolis, MD.
I am a teacher, writer, and speaker on American Christianity, purity culture, Asian American religion and culture, and church and faith. Most recently, you can find me at the Center for Faith + Justice, American Examples, and Enfleshing Witness (Church Anew) among other projects.
I invite you to subscribe to my Substack newsletter Imagine Otherwise, where I reflect on the entanglement of religion and race, Asian American literature and culture, and engaging practices of belonging and solidarity, as well as for regular updates on what I’m working on and through here: miheekimkort.substack.com
SEEING AND BEING JESUS: How to Live God’s Radical Welcome as a Family
A resource for families of all shapes and sizes to consider how to see and be Jesus in the world together. Now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Westminster John Knox Press.
Published in collaboration with Around the Table, an initiative of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Mihee Kim-Kort offers both a primer to biblical justice in today’s world and a guide for caregivers to lead the young people in their lives toward just ways of living. With insights for talking with children and youth about poverty, racism, sexism, and more, this is the book progressive families seeking to follow Jesus’s fierce love together have been waiting for.”—Jacqui Lewis, senior minister of Middle Collegiate Church, New York City, and author of Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness That Can Heal the World
“Kim-Kort offers the reader a disarmingly tangible way forward in the face of an often-overwhelming sociopolitical reality. Beautifully weaving together Scripture, stories, history, and practical witness, this book is a sermonic invitation toward embodying radical love and courageous justice!”—Gail Song Bantum, coauthor of Choosing Us: Marriage and Mutual Flourishing in a World of Difference
