Today we're starting the Dive Bar, a new series that is part of the Pearl Dive podcast. We'll talk to folks inside AACHI and the Fuller Asian American Center orbit about all kinds of things: what we're working on, what we're interested in. We hope you'll like these conversations. So get a drink of your choice and join us.Today, I'm talking to Dr. David Moe, who along with Dr. Joe Cheah, is heading up a new AACHI project about the Burmese American Christian diaspora. This project was awarded an APARRI Working Grant. We are excited to amplify the history, stories, and theologies from the Burmese American Christian communities.
