Creative Minority Reader: Elizabeth Tenety Speaks with Jeremy Lin's Pastor

Great interview:

Stephen Chen is head pastor of the English-language ministry at Redeemer Bible Fellowship in Mountain View, Calif. Among the longtime members of his 300-person, largely Chinese American immigrant church is basketball’s latter-day wunderkind, the Knicks’ Jeremy Lin.

Chen has known Lin since the basketball phenom was 13, when Chen worked with him as a youth counselor at their church. Chen never played basketball until Jeremy and his brother, Josh, taught him. “They said, ‘we’ll listen to what you have to say about the Bible and you have to listen to what we have to say about basketball.’”
