The Micah Institute Luncheon for January will be held on Thursday January 18, 2018 at Riverside Church room 10T at 12 noon.
Featured speaker for January will be Rev. Dr. Karyn Carlo. Dr. Carlo will describe her recent experience serving as Visiting Professor of Theology at the Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary in Paynesville, Liberia. In this work, she was struck by the many ways in which US racism and white supremacy continue to harm this West African nation. Her presentation will include a brief history of the relationship between our two countries, the problem of U.S. Christianity as a tool of colonization and oppression, and possibilities for a more just way forward. In addition, she will share some personal reflections on visiting the Liberian birthplace of Mohamed Bah and on the many connections between Liberia and the Micah Institute as partners in the global struggle for more liberating faith-based narratives. For more information, please contact Rev. Joel Gibson, 212-870-3518.
