Therefore\, it is urgent to revive our ethical commitment to human life and dignity. How to challenge a selfish neoliberal ideology and its financial gluttony that puts economic health above people’s health? Is it possible to think of education as a practice of freedom under the siege of surveillance and exploitation of personal and collective data? How to think of educational spaces (face-to-face\, virtual\, hybrid) created in the shadow of the pandemic as creative spaces that critically educate their citizens? How can we preserve the importance of the conscientization process to think about education in this challenging context and critically reflect on what we do\, how we do it\, why we do it and for whom we do it? \nWhat kind of alliances and solidarity do spaces committed to change demand? Are these spaces capable of understanding and clarifying the meanings of critical and radical actions that must be present in emancipatory education? \nThe Cátedra Paulo Freire Conference 2022 is an invitation to those who yearn for a more humane and ethical world to face the current forces that try to numb and immobilize us and\, in a spirit of resistance\, to commit to life\, to the ethics and beauty that Freire aspired so much.

For some\, this is a response to the financial and material complexity of being a minister at this moment in time. For others\, multi-vocational ministry is the natural result of feeling called in more ways than one\, to ministry that puts an individual in multiple ministerial spaces both inside and outside of the Church. \nIf this sounds like you\, or if you are a local ministry leader seeking wisdom around how to prepare students for ministry and theological education in this current moment\, join us on July 7th for this important conversation. We will be joined by Rev. Dr. Reginald Blount as well as a few other guests who are serving in multi-vocational ministry contexts. \nSpeakers \n\nDr. Reginald Blount is a bi-vocational minister himself serving at the Murray H. Leiffer Associate Professor of Formation\, Leadership\, and Culture and Director of the Center for the Church and the Black Experience at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary while also serving as the pastor at Arnett Chapel AME in Chicago. \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \nRev.

O dia 6 de outubro será um marco histórico para a comunidade Garrett\, pois teremos a honra de receber virtualmente um dos grandes teólogos do nosso tempo\, Leonardo Boff. \nReconhecido mundialmente como um dos principais teólogos da libertação\, Boff expandiu seu trabalho desde a década de 1980\, investigando questões ecológicas como prolongamentos da teologia da libertação. Como ativista incansável pelos pobres e excluídos\, ele defende que precisamos ouvir não apenas o clamor dos oprimidos\, mas também o clamor da Terra—ambos precisam de libertação. \nA crise planetária que pesa sobre a super-explorada Mãe Terra e o enfraquecimento das estruturas democráticas em muitas nações\, exigem de nós uma reflexão urgente sobre caminhos viáveis ​​que possibilitem uma nova forma de viver em irmandade. Essa deve estar pautada nos valores de justiça e equidade\, amor e bondade\, sabedoria e respeito por todos os seres que habitam nosso planeta. É justamente sobre esses temas que Boff irá refletir\, convidando-nos a pensar sobre os cuidados necessários para habitar esta casa comum. \nVocê pode saber mais sobre Leonardo Boff em seu site: https://leonardoboff.org/. \nPerguntas?

October 6th will be a historic milestone for the Garrett community\, as we will be honored to virtually welcome one of the great theologians of our time\, Leonardo Boff. \nRecognized worldwide as one of the leading liberation theologians\, Boff has expanded his work since the 1980s\, delving into ecological issues as extensions of liberation theology. As a tireless activist for the poor and excluded\, he argues that we need to hear not only the cry of the oppressed\, but also the cry of the Earth–both are in need of deliverance. \nThe planetary crisis that weighs on the overexploited Mother Earth and the weakening of democratic structures in many nations\, demand from us a reflection about viable paths that make possible a new way of living in kinship. This must be based on the values ​​of justice and equity\, love and kindness\, wisdom and respect for all beings that inhabit our planet. It is precisely on these themes that Boff will reflect\, inviting us to think about the care needed to inhabit this common house. \nThe lecture will take place online and is free to attend. For community members in the Evanston/Chicago area\, you are invited to join us for a watch party on campus (location TBA) and then for a time of lunch conversation following the lecture.

Nonhuman animals are implicated in many subfields within biblical studies\, particularly as categories of “human” and animal are recognized as constructed\, and the power dynamic between them is problematized. This conference draws on the work of influential ethologists\, philosophers\, cultural theorists\, and literary critics to analyze depictions of diverse living beings in the Bible and related texts.
