A Church That Listens: Doing Theology from the Peripheries

  • Villanova Law School Room 303 (map)

In 2022, the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development asked six working groups of Catholic theologians all over the world to go to the margins of the church and society to listen. This listening is at the heart of a global project, Doing Theology from the Existential Peripheries.  Dr. Owens Jofré will provide snapshots of the lived experiences of those to whom she listened in Southern California and share resources from the project well suited for teaching and ministry.  She will amplify the voices of first-generation immigrant community organizers, women in ministry with and to divorced and widowed Catholics, young gay Catholic men, a vowed religious woman who started an intentional community near the border to accompany migrants, and a deconvert from Catholicism.
