Conference: Post-Imperial Futures

Conference with leading theologians and activists to equip ordained and lay leaders with the tools to educate their congregations and decolonize their ministries

Post-Imperial Futures: Addressing Legacy and Living Into Promise

 

Imperialist ideology and practice is threaded throughout U/Uism, as well as other religious traditions now practiced in North America. From the a/theological justifications of our founding fathers to the faith’s everyday practices of money and leadership, the legacy of Empire and its desire to dominate and mark out Otherness has us participate in harmful colonial enterprises. This conference, sponsored by Meadville Lombard Theological School and the Unitarian Universalist Association’s International Office, convenes scholars and activists to equip lay leaders and ministers with resources and practices to live into the promise of radical, post-colonial, and faithful futurities.
