Role in the Community

The pastor’s own TAH Foundation encyclopedia record is held in the corpus as 1812. Rev. James Chang 張拯民牧師 (2017-08-06). Beyond that entry the corpus records his ministry path — NTNU industrial education (1966), TTCS M.Div. (1986), pastorate at PCT Hoping Church (台北和平基督長老教會) from 1986 and later Formosan Presbyterian Church in Greater Houston — with no memoir mentions of his own. Re-verified 2026-09-18 and again 2026-09-19: corpus re-grep (works/articles) still returns only the #1812 encyclopedia record, the works index, and the unrelated Pop-Up Chef entry — no additional community facts absorbable.

HOLD: name collision — the corpus also contains Pop-Up Chef James Chang (Kansas City, 2024), a different James Chang (chef, not the pastor). Do not merge.

  • 2026-09-21 corpus re-grep (DEEPEN-X slice 09210051-6): hit-set unchanged — own TAH #1812 record, works index, and the unrelated Pop-Up Chef entry (HOLD above). SKIP-content: nothing new absorbable.
