In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asians have been othered in American society due to racism and xenophobia because some view them as responsible (as individuals or as a community) for causing and spreading the virus. In response to the nationwide surge of anti-Asian hate crimes, the author, an Asian American preacher, suggests a revitalization of  ren  (仁), the foundational concept of the collectivist culture of East (Southeast) Asian society and also the essence of Confucianism, as an indigenous homiletical voice. The paper explores the distinctive conception of otherness—in particular, the heart of compassion (惻隱之心,  ceyin zhi xin ) and righteousness (義,  yi )—in  ren  as an alternative concept for mitigating controversial features of Levinas's ethical project. Further, the author proposes revitalizing  ren  in preaching so that the praxis of compassion and resistance combines with the dynamic of biblical lament as a homiletical strategy.

This is our voice: revitalizing ren as a homiletical concept for resistance to anti-Asian hate crimes
