Ha Na Park - Co-Lead Minister
Ha Na (she/her/they) is thrilled to join the staff team at Broad View United as Co-Lead Minister. Her family migrated from Korea in 2007, when her older son, Peace, was 7 months old. In that year of transition, Ha Na realized that she had become the moon, “Which lives by depending on another and shines by reflecting another’s light” while living as the shadow of her ordained husband of two years. Since then, Ha Na has strived to be the Sun again and keep that poetic image as her motivation. Her recent path has been leading her to continue to evolve through her various interests and passions. Ha Na has committed herself to deepening her understanding of intercultural ministry, decreasing racism and questioning white privilege in her institution, and decolonizing herself, her work and her theology. She believes in friendship and mutuality as the antidote to racism, and seeks liberation from patriarchy and racism for women of colour. In addition, Ha Na embraces mysticism and spirituality to help build resistance to oppression.
