Strangers No More? The Case of Glory Presbyterian Church (GPC) Chinese-Indonesian Church in the San Francisco Bay Area, California
Abstract
Este artículo aborda las dinámicas que se desarrollan dentro de la congregación Glory Presbyterian Church (GPC) – una comunidad sino-indonesa en San Francisco, California, EEUU – en torno a las relaciones entre diversos grupos donde se ponen en juego diferencias culturales, teológicas y generacionales. Allí se evidencian las tensiones que emergen en relación a los procesos de inclusión/exclusión entre grupos sino-indonesios – que son parte de la iglesia – y otros colectivos que llegan a ese espacio eclesial. El artículo permite visualizar las tensiones y (re)apropiaciones que se dan sobre la construcción del sentido de «identidad», en un marco inscripto en tensiones socio-culturales, políticas y religiosas.
Palabras clave: Identidad, racialización, Glory Presbyterian Church, iglesias étnicas.
