Public Theologians
Christian theology animates leftist political action. A conversation among socialists, the Christian Left, fellow travelers and beloved comrades.
Maureen H. O'Connell - Undoing the Knots: Five Generations of American Catholic Anti-Blackness
Dr. Maureen H. O'Connell joins the conversation to discuss her new book Undoing the Knots: Five Generations of American Catholic Antiblackness. We talk about the history of racism and antiracism through the prism of her hometown Philadelphia. In the course of our dialogue, we get into what it means to engage in the work of repentance that goes beyond virtue signaling and the significance of racial mercy.
Maureen H. O’Connell is associate professor and chair of the Department of Religion and Theology at LaSalle University. She authored Compassion: Loving Our Neighbor in an Age of Globalization and If These Walls Could Talk: Community Muralism and the Beauty of Justice. She is a member of POWER (Philadelphians Organizing to Witness, Empower, and Rebuild), an interfaith coalition of more than 50 congregations committed to making Philadelphia the city of “just love” through faith-based community organizing.
