A Liberating Day



Monday was our final presentation: Latin American Biblical Interpretation. Gina and Evelyn led us in reflecting on our experiences of living and worshiping in this cultural context. They gave us the historical, economic, and religious
background for the development of liberation theology--Latin America's contribution to the long evolution of theological reflection. We have all learned so much by taking the point of view of an ethnicity which is not our own.



This afternoon we had the privilege of visiting Patricia and Jose, Norma's sister and brother-in-law. They are pastors whose ministry combines pastoral counseling and spiritual direction. Stories of healing and renewal were inspiring, as was the peaceful beauty of the center's hillside setting. Our parting circle of prayer will remain a blessing for all.
