SUMMARY:Introducing Latin American Liberation Theology
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Latin American Liberation Theology\n3-session Mini Course\, Jan. 26\, Feb. 2\, + Feb. 9\n7pm-8pm ET on Zoom \nLatin American Liberation Theology is one of the signal developments in spirituality and transformative politics in the post-WWII era. This three session mini-course will introduce the historical contexts\, community practices\, and basic concepts of Liberation Theology to all those interested in the liberatory and spiritual aspects of community-building. Leonardo Boff\, a Brazilian theologian\, captured the essence of the spirit of Liberation Theology when he wrote: “The process of liberation brings with it a profound conflict. Having the project be clear is not enough. What is necessary is a spirituality of resistance and of renewed hope to turn ever back to the struggle in the face of the defeats of the oppressed.” In a time of increasing conflict and struggle in our society\, join us to renew your sense of hope by learning from our Latin American friends and fellow sojourners in the struggle for a better world. \nEdgar Rivera Colón\, PhD\, is a medical anthropologist and ordained minister in The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM) who provides pastoral accompaniment to tenant rights organizing groups\, labor unions\, and immigrant justice movements in Los Angeles. He offers spiritual direction for faith-based activists. He is a U of O board member and minister at Faith + Works Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Orange\, NJ. He first encountered the practice and theory of Liberation Theology when he lived and worked in El Salvador and Nicaragua in the mid-1980s as a young Jesuit. He lives in East LA in a queer Latina multigenerational household with his nieces\, their moms\, and fury canine nephews Biscuit and Hans Solo. \n\n  \nPlease register for this class here.
