Through an ethnographic study, personal narratives were collected from six suburban Black Christian girls who all attended the same African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church where I served as the youth minister. These narratives offer insight into ways microaggression encounters in suburban schools can impact the personal identity, racial identity, and spiritual formation of Black adolescent girls. The Black sanctuary is the context where the girls in the study felt most accepted, represented, and safe. This implies re-imagining religious education practices with Black girls is important if pastors want to cultivate formative spaces that help Black youth thrive in an Oreo World.Keywords: MicroaggressionsBlack girlseducationChristianethnography Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Dictionary.com, s.v.

The disability must substantially limit a major life activity, which includes a child’s ability to learn in a general education classroom.” https://www.cps.edu/services-and-supports/special-education/understanding-special-education/#:∼:text=The%20504%20Plan%20is%20a,equal%20access%20to%20the%20learning.

I have served in this role concurrently for over a decade as a full-time professor of Christian education at a seminary. In this autobiographical reflection, I discuss how I define my roles in the church and academy as one vocation. I spend my life juggling time and resources so that both roles are served at the highest level. I discuss in the paper how each of the roles intersect and inform one another.Keywords: Vocationadministrationdenominational service Conclusion – a life intertwined with GodSince teaching is as much \"showing” and “experiencing” as it is “telling” – and more effective when it’s the former – I have attempted in this brief piece to show and help readers to experience the intersection of my work as seminary faculty and denominational administrator with all the variations and expressions that are part of each. In the process, I have given some insights that have come from decades of work as a religious educator. It has been my aim to demonstrate how a singular vocation, that of religious educator, can be expressed in multiple facets, much like a prism. Further, I have intended to demonstrate how each aspect of location informs, enlivens, and expands upon the others, and how all of the expressions are tied back to the singular vocation of a life of faithfulness and discipleship following the pattern of Jesus.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Karen B.

A vast majority of university students are affected by economic downturn and are required to compete in an uncertain situation. This study proposes an educational model from the perspective of understanding the younger generation, which is struggling in uncertain situations, rather than treating gender conflict merely as hatred between individual women and men. This paper also proposes an educational environment wherein students feel encouraged to deal with gender conflicts by understanding their liminal spaces and crossing borders for gender equity.Keywords: Gender equityneoliberalismwomen’s movement in Koreagender conflictfeminism reboot Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 While explaining the brief history of feminist theology, Rosemary Radford Ruether (Citation2002) describes many Hispanic and Asian women as cross-border theologians who are immigrants or visitors (10). Julie Browne (Citation2019) explains her experience as a medical educator and professor living in liminal spaces. She performs at least two professional roles, and she seeks to develop a mental attitude of living more comfortably in the in-between spaces (4–8). I define all theologians as inherently cross-border theologians, living in a liminal space. We all have an important theological task that constantly transgresses the boundary between the Realm of God and this world, between Christian tradition and human experiences, and between theology and human sciences. We, as educators living in liminal spaces, are also required to cross borders between teachers and students, between classroom and reality, and between knowledge and practice.2 The five phases of the Korean women's movement are those classified by the author, focusing on major events that occurred in the history of the women's movement and major changes in Korean society.3 By clarifying the relationship between identity and experience, Macdonald contends that experiences are causally related to their identities, but not in a deterministic way (Macdonald Citation2002, 122–127).Additional informationNotes on contributorsHyun-Sook KimHyun-Sook Kim is a professor of Christian Education at the United Graduate School of Theology at Yonsei University and Director of the Center for Gender Equity at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
