Reparations NOW: Ecclesiastical Reparations with Rev. Duke Kwon

In this episode, Rev. Duke Kwon joins Christina and Ekemini at the table to discuss ecclesiastical reparations. Duke Kwon is the Lead Pastor of Grace Meridian Hill, a congregation in the GraceDC Network located in Washington, DC. He spent his early years in Southern California, then journeyed to the East Coast for his undergraduate studies at Brown University (A.B.). After working as an analyst at a management consulting firm, Duke began his formal training for pastoral ministry at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div., Th.M.). During his time in New England, he also served on the campus ministry staffs of Grace Covenant Campus Church (KAPC) and Reformed University Fellowship Brown/RISD, where he also met his wife Paula. Duke moved to Washington, DC in 2004 to serve as the Assistant Pastor of GraceDC’s “anchor” congregation, Grace Downtown, then in 2011 planted its second congregation, Grace Meridian Hill, a neighborhood church located in one of the most ethnically and economically diverse parts of the nation’s capital. Duke and Paula live in Columbia Heights together with their three children. Pull up a chair, grab your teacup and have a seat with us!
