Peace Pyunghwa Lee (she/her) is a spiritual director, preacher, and an educator committed to decolonial and feminist praxis. Formative experiences of growing up in Korea and the Philippines and later immigrating to the United States as a preteen has imbued her with a humanizing and inclusive perspective. At the core of her faith is the affirmation of the sacred worth of all persons, as imago dei.

As a member of a Korean diaspora whose personal life history has been marked by the larger history of imperial colonialism, war, and Christian missionizing, as a racial and gendered other in a white supremacist culture, as one of few persons with decolonial perspective in my academic field of homiletics, Peace does not take the privilege of her training lightly and seeks to serve and create space for the marginalized and the oppressed from within the institutional borders of the church and the academy.
