Ok I agree that we are going in a circle and I do not mean to do that. However, you brought good challenge for me to organize my thought and reflect why I am doing what I am doing. The more I read your mails and I can understand better what you are saying. Following I suggest.
(1) I said and admit clearly that the guest priest had been insensitive toward Young People and I will be more sensitive in the future.
(2) Whatever being said in Korean should be available in English in Jubo or Projector
(3) Changing Mass hour should be carefully planned and needed to be limited 4 or 5 times in Major Feast Days.
(4) The Second Reading will be read in Korean only After English one.
(5) Mass should be celebrated in clear and understandable English unquestionably.
I think above issues should have no problem to agree upon by all of us. This has been what I have said all along from the beginning of the emails and I will toughen up to enforce it.
In addition I do not want to block any communication and I am certainly not a dictator. I see this discussion can be beneficial for parish. I already opened this up to Parish Staff and some officials. If you give me consent to share your emails to others and that will expedite the process. I will post your questions and my responses to Parish Website and ask entire Parish to read and especially Young Adults. I had emailed to Parish Council Hoi Jang Nim about this for his thought, but it might take some time for them to process so I will decide it on my own. He will support me on this, I hope.
We do have two or three predominantly Young Adult Kuyukhoi and I will have them to discuss all those issues. Give some time to everybody read and process their thoughts and we will have good forum or some form of discussion.
There lie some fundamental issues in Young Adults and the future of St. Andrew Kim parish and I want to have people to share their ideas and come up with their insights. There is no personal Ego involved here, only clear and transparent process and search for what is best for SAK. Fr Minhuyn
