On February 23, 2008, Network on Religion and Justice (NRJ-API-LGBT) participants marched with GAPA and APIQWTC members in the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade! Despite cold, rain, and dire storm warnings, we had 40 energetic marchers in our contingent this year. We ushered in the New Year with flair -- rainbow stoles, rainbow streamers, and bright red bilingual Marriage Equality ponchos! The theme of the float this year was "Three Generations of LGBT Family Love and Acceptance" -- featured on it were API LGBT grandparents, couples, and children taking a family portrait under a giant glittery rainbow.
Interviews from NRJ marchers are available via YouTube:

Immersion photos from Eleazar Fernandez course: "Asian-Pacific Islander Diasporic Political Theology in the Context of Empire Building"
During the January 2008 intersession, PANA sponsored a course, "Asian-Pacific Islander Diasporic Political Theology in the Context of Empire Building" taught by our guest scholar Dr. Eleazar Fernandez, Professor of Constructive Theology at the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
This course continued the PANA tradition of including "immersion" journeys out of the classroom and into sites of the API community.
One of the course participants, Rev. Jay Sapaen Watan (Youth Minister & Chaplain, St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, Foster City, CA) has posted his photos from the experience on Flickr.
