Church Shooting Strikes at Taiwanese American Identity

When my family immigrated to the United States, a couple from the Formosan Presbyterian Church of Orange County (Formosa is another name for Taiwan) helped us settle in and get connected with the Taiwanese community in Southern California. When I think of that church, I think of home. I think of the aroma of steamed napa cabbage and giant pots of "lo ba bung" (braised pork over rice) that are ladled out potluck-style for weekly church lunches.
