Steven was an inquisitive child. When he was four he asked, “If God created the universe, who created God?” Sadly, in the Myanmar culture, questioning is seen as negative and he was rebuffed, told to just listen and not question as he is a child. In this personal, moving and unwittingly amusing talk, Steven shares his experiences of daring to ask questions and encourages all of us to “think negatively”.
Steven Sui Uk Thang was born in 1989 at Tedim Myo, Chin State, Myanmar. Steven and his family moved to Sumhrang village in Chin State when he was four years old, and where they still live today. Steven’s parents are farmers and he is the oldest of eight children; he has three younger brothers and four younger sisters. Steven attended middle and high school in Falam. After high school, Steven attended religious college in Yangon before graduating with a Bachelor of Theology in 2015 from a religious institute at Falam. Steven is now studying social science at Chin Institute of Social Science at Falam, Chin State, Myanmar.
