A 4-part series, taught by Kairos Center staff, covering the main themes of the last historic campaign of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s life and its contemporary revival as the Poor People’s Campaign.
This course explores the prevailing explanations for why poverty exists today and reveals the deeply entrenched ideologies that prevent us from seeking long-term and real solutions that can end poverty.
The course will examine some of the principles behind liberation theology as it has emerged in historical struggles of the poor, including Latin American Liberation Theology, Black Liberation Theology, as well as in the context of non-Christian contexts.
Taught by Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, this three-part course will reclaim the radical teachings of the Bible around poverty, wealth and power that have been lost to many of our movements.
This session has been canceled . This session is for students, who participated in the Kairos Center's fall series of classes to share thoughts and reflections on how the classes went and areas for improvement.
This course will look at three different passages from the Bible and consider their history, economics, politics and morality. We will also relate the key messages from those passages to the moment we are in today.
This course will investigate the relationship between social movements and religious traditions. Religions have been both oppressive forces and forces of liberation in the history of human struggle and these tensions have been critical to the development and sustaining of social movements around the world.
