Cosmopolitan theology affirms and radicalizes the belief that the Divine creates each and every human being as equal to every one else as a _citizen-of-the-cosmos and that no one is either superior or inferior to the other.

Cosmopolitan theology is a theology for _the impossible_.

— Namsoon Kang

Cosmopolitan theology that longs for the Kingdom of God seeks to recover its revolutionary universalizing ethos in terms of hospitality, neighbor-love, and multiple similarities that one can see in Jesus' teaching and ministry, without any imperialist, kyriarchcal, hierarchical implications

_For what ends_ does one claim cosmopolitanism? _Whose interest_ does it serve?

— Namsoon Kang

How can one maintain a theological confidence in what one claims to be _true_ while acknowledging the existence of multiple religions that also claim to be _true_?

— Namsoon Kang

I believe _cosmopolitanism_ can be an effective discourse with which to advocate a politics of _transidentity_ of overlapping interests and heterogeneous or hybrid subjects in order to challenge conventional notions of exclusive belonging, identity and citizenship.

I believe theology should be about one's way of life, a kind of gaze into oneself and others, and a mode of one's profound existence in the world.

— Namsoon Kang

I fully recognize there is an urgent need for constructing the _strategic we-new-in-sameness_ and promoting the _solidarity of sameness_. The sheer realization of the inextricable interconnectedness of Illness/madness and wetness/business is the round for an authentic solidarity with one another in spite of and regardless of the difference.

— Namsoon Kang

I want to affirm that thinking and living, knowing and doing, theory and practice intersect.

— Namsoon Kang

Now the question we must ask is...what kind of _practices_ [theology] motivates, what kind of _gaze_ onto others, the guest, the new arrival, it offers us to carry with us; _not_ who my neighbors are _but_ to whom I am being a neighbor.
