Church & State in Nicaragua:
Probing the Relationship
Noon Pacific time/ 1pm Nicaragua/ 3pm Eastern/ 8pm Greenwich UK
Register: bit.ly/NicaOct22
This webinar will confront allegations that the Nicaraguan government is conducting “a cutthroat campaign to silence its opponents, targeting religious orders, Catholic institutions, and media in addition to ordinary people of faith….” (Newsweek, Oct. 3) The speakers will also provide troubling evidence about some church leaders' anti-government activities. Join us for other viewpoints and in-depth discussion, with ample time for your questions during Q&A.
Our featured speakers:
Becca Renk has been a community development worker for over 20 years in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, and a delegation coordinator through Casa Ben Linder, a solidarity project of the Jubilee House Community. She has written several articles about the church in Nicaragua, based on her experiences and research.
Dr. James J. Phillips is a former Jesuit who is seeking a better understanding of religious communities – especially how the Jesuits have arrived at their present position in Nicaragua. He has authored two books on Honduras (2015 and 2022), as well as articles about Nicaragua where he lived for several years during the contra war and has visited many times since.
