Abstrakt

Living in 'exile,' Vietnamese Americans suffer a deep sense of loss, politically, socially and culturally. Learning to adapt, to adjust, and striving to achieve and to survive, in America, they are American citizens but no 'Americans.' In Vietnam, they are Vietnamese but not Vietnam's citizens. This exilic experience of Vietnamese American Catholics needs to be addressed in preaching. The Hebrews' exilic experience is helpful for Vietnamese Americans to voice their felt loss. This project seeks to help preachers to re-present the catastrophe and to reconstruct the paradigms of meaning that employs both scriptural and traditional Vietnamese imagery to identify the presence of God in their cultural as well as exilic experiences, to convey a message of Christian mission.
