The church has a responsibility to play both a prophetic and priestly role in educating the public for a righteous and humane society. The church also needs to address the ways to play this role. Trying to find out one of such ways, this research explored two contributions to American society from the experiences and practices of the Korean American Church: (1) The Korean American Church can bring a potential clue to transform racial discrimination and to actualize racial reconciliation from its own reconciling practices as an ethnic minority group in U.S. society, which can bring a more multicultural public educational ecology for a righteous society; (2) The Korean American Church can also carry a possible promise to overcome dehumanization from individualism and to recover the meaning of life through sharing the Korean traditional heritage of we-consciousness and practices of it, which can enrich the layers of moral character formation of the public for a humane society. This research, with these contributions, would be beneficial for churches, including the American Church as well as the Korean American Church, to grapple with recapturing its role in the education of the U.S. public.
