What does it mean to be treated as someone who does not belong\, someone whose presence makes other people feel uncomfortable\, angry\, or disturbed?” Dr. Anthony Reddie is the professor of Black theology and director of the Centre for Black Theology at the University of Oxford. Britain’s preeminent Black theologian\, he is the author of many texts including\, recently\, Introducing James H. Cone: A Personal Exploration and Theologising Brexit: A Liberationist and Postcolonial Critique. \nOn March 19\, 4:00 p.m. CST\, Dr. Reddie will deliver the 3rd Annual James H. Cone and Emilie M. Townes lecture at Garrett’s Chapel of the Unnamed Faithful\, and streamed free online. In his address\, Dr. Reddie will reflect on how Black theology can diagnose the evils of Christian nationalism\, and the ways that migrants are treated in the United States and throughout the world. A crucial word for a world in crisis\, we invite you to join us as we reflect on the work to which God calls us. \nClick here to read an interview with Dr. Reddie\, for more information about how Drs. Cone and Townes influenced him as a scholar\, and what he plans to discuss in his lecture.
