This Sunday: Liberation Theology, The Sandinistas, and UU

What is Liberation Theology all about? Was the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua inspired by Liberation Theology?  What can UU learn from Liberation Theology?

Our Sunday services begin at 11 a.m. but do join us for coffee, refreshments and conversation any time after 10:15 a.m.

Services typically are centered on a talk—either by a member of our Fellowship or by a guest speaker. Services also include music, meditation and opportunities (always optional) to add your own thoughts. Unitarian Universalists (UUs) don’t share a creed. Rather, we support each other in our own free and responsible searches for truth and meaning. For us, dogma is less important than treating our fellow human beings with respect. And visitors are always welcome.

Our Sunday speaker John is a retired Cultural Anthropology professor. He grew up in South Georgia, graduated from Emory U., the Univ. of Paris–Sorbonne, and Indiana Univ–Bloomington. He taught in the Univ. of Maryland Overseas Military Program for many years, in various other Universities in Atlanta, and for 15 years at CSU, from which he retired in 2017. He has published on the Anthropological Theory of Race and Ethnicity, African Religion & Mythology, and on Mexican migrant farmworkers in GA. He traveled for several weeks in Nicaragua in 1986 to observe the Sandinista Revolution. He has been a Democratic Socialist since 1978, and a member of the UUA since 1990.
