February, 12, 2023. This year we're introducing Theology Cafe. We're going to start questioning the default by looking at the wide variety of other ways of constructing our theology. Everyone does theology. Even the statement, "I don't need theology," is a form of theology.

Our plan for 2023 is to every few months take a look at a different lens and experience of theology. Feminist, Asian American Women, Queer, Latinx, and Indigenous Theology. This month, in light of Black History Month, we're taking a look at Black Theology.

In each Theology cafe, we're going to invite a practitioner and scholar of the week's theme to share with us.

Today, we have a pre-recorded video by Dr. Adam Clark of Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. He currently serves as co-chair of the Black Theology Group at the American Academy of Religion and actively publishes in the area of black theology and black religion and participates in social justice groups. He is committed to the idea that theological education in the twenty-first century must function as a counter-story—one that equips us to read against the grain of the dominant culture and inspires one to live into the dictum of St. Ignatius, of going forth "to set the world on fire."
