Inaugural Thea Bowman Lecture | Dr. M. Shawn CopelandTuesday, November 15, 2022 | 6:00-7:15pm | JST Gesu Chapel Thea Bowman repeatedly urged that Black Catholics come to our Church “fully functioning,” that is, bring our gifts of history, tradition, experience, and culture; at the same time, she recognized that even should those gifts be ignored, neglected, or refused, Black Catholics must continue to present them. Thea Bowman’s life exemplifies the radical transcendence of Black Catholic life–walking in uncommon faithfulness, daring freedom, reaching out in solidarity to ‘others,’ transcending arbitrary limitations, striving to realize the radical potential of grace. Dr. M. Shawn Copeland is Professor Emerita of Systematic Theology and the Program in African and African Diaspora Studies at Boston College. Professor Copeland is an award-winning writer and has lectured extensively across the world. |
