ORDINATION of Barnabas Kim -
9th
November at 3pm at Centenary Uniting Church, Parramatta
New Minister at Centenary Uniting,
Parramatta -
My name is Barnabas
(Bong Gun) KIM. I am the new minister at Centenary
Uniting Church
in North Parramatta.
I was born in Korea in 1960, married Esther in
1983 and have two boys, Samuel 23, Moses 17.
I am an Asian
middle-aged married male migrant minister in the Uniting
Church in Australia. Growing up in Korea
I experienced the cultures of Confucianism, Buddhism, Shamanism, and
Christianity, all which have impacted on who I am.
I came to
Australia in 1999 and have
been living in Sydney
for seven and half years, which means I am a
Korean-Australian in this multi-cultural and multi-religious society. My
identity as a Korean-Australian affects how I see things. It becomes a struggle
to form a personal
identity but it is also a strength as it helps me relate to
others from different cultural backgrounds and experiences. Living in multicultural and multi-faith Australia, so different to Korea, certainly has affected how I
understand life’s meaning.
As a
human being and a minister, I am always contemplating the questions: “Who am I?
What is the meaning of life? Who is God? What is the nature of the Church? What
is the true meaning of religion?” And I have not found the exact answer, I have just begun to understand a little.
If you
are interested in exploring these questions with me and others, you are
welcome, whoever you are, to come along on a Sunday morning - worship services
are at 9am
and 10:30am or give me a ring on 9683 5023
