Paul Kim

Christians must go out of their ways to say “welcome” to all peoples and show our hospitality. My goals and values are precisely in the same line with the General Commission on Religion and Race’s vision and values: that we must seek to join hands with friends, neighbors and strangers to witness to a different way of living, and to walk in a mutual understanding of differences. Until we learn to embrace the differences, we will never fulfill the mission of true healing and unity that Christ has given us.

Paul Kim serves as the Executive Assistant to the General Secretary of the United Methodist General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR). He joined GCORR in March 2009.

Paul serves as the primary contact for the General Secretary in all matters and manages the day-to-day operation of the General Secretary’s Office. Prior to coming to the Commission he worked as a foreign legal consultant for an international law firm in South Korea and as a law clerk for a state attorney general’s office.

Paul interned at the General Board of Church and Society as an Immigration and Refugee Policy Assistant in Summer 2000. He is a graduate of Duke University in Durham, N.C., with a Master’s Degree in Divinity, and he holds Juris Doctor and LL.M. degrees from the School of Law at Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.)
