A Liberating Spirituality for a Suffering World LECTURE November 19, 2015Presenter: O. Ernesto Valiente This presentation builds on the work of Latin American liberation theologians to propose a Christian discipleship—a following of Jesus—that responds to our conflicted world. It identifies the “path” that we are to follow and the “Spirit” that empowers us in that following. The presentation also draws on the pastoral writings of Pope Francis to illuminate the implications that Jesus’s life and mission pose for our current life as Christian disciples. Sponsored by the School of Theology and Ministry O. Ernesto Valiente is STM assistant professor of systematic theology.
