“The Lord Draws in Crooked Lines” ft. Case Western Reserve University’s Jonathan Y. Tan I Saturdays at Seven – Season Three, Episode Forty-Four - Christian Scholar’s Review

19/07/2026 · Article 🕐 🆕
In the forty-fourth episode of the third season of the “Saturdays at Seven” conversation series, Todd Ream talks with Jonathan Y. Tan, the Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan Professor of Catholic Studies at Case Western Reserve University. Tan begins by offering an overview of the impact Vatican II had on what is now referenced as world Catholicism or global Christianity. Prior to Vatican II, the leadership exercised by the Catholic Church was rooted in Europe. With Vatican II, the Church sought to welcome voices into that leadership from around the world. Over time, the voice the Church exercised evolved from being a Eurocentric one speaking out to the world into a global one in which diverse voices comprising Christ’s body were speaking with one another. Tan shifts to discuss his own journey from being raised as a member of a Christian minority in Malaysia to studying law in Singapore and then coming to the United States to study theology. Each transition fostered within Tan the conviction that the service a theologian is called to exercise often follows what seems to finite humans to be crooked lines the Lord draws. Those lines eventually led Tan to Case Western Reserve University where he was appointed to the oldest chair in Catholic studies in North America. That appointment then allowed Tan to explore the contributions that Asian Christians as well as Asian American Christians are making to the Church. Tan concludes by discussing how theologians and the Church can work together in greater ways in the years to come to nurture a communion represented in Acts 2.
