LOW KEY CHAPLAIN
Low Key Chaplain is a podcast I started to document conversations and thoughts I had in the summer of 2020 in reference to the conversations around George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. After a series of events and observations, I decided that I was going to walk from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary to the Texas Capital and back to protest racism, racial inequality and to be a visible religious leader while doing it. Sometimes I walked alone and sometimes others walked with me. I opened myself up to answer questions, listen to stories, and just be a brave space for others to just be in.
The first eighteen episodes recap each day of these walks spanning from June 17 to July 4th. Episode nineteen, starts phase two of the podcast in which I invite someone to walk with me and we record the podcast as we walk to the capital and back.
I invite you along on this journey with me! If you would like to walk and talk with me, click here. Anybody can sign up to walk and talk. I would love to hear your thoughts, your questions, and your story.
You can listen to Low Key Chaplain on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts and on Castos.
TEACHING BORDERLANDS
In current US society, the political discourse has directed the national gaze southward to the US borderlands—stretching from the Puerto Rican archipelago to the El Muro en la Playa in Tijuana, Mexico. The central concern is that much of this southbound discourse has led to increased racial stigmatization and criminalization of brown bodied Latinx people across this border-scape territory (which includes both sea and land). Hence, for this project, we aim to visit four ATS member schools across the United States to engage in strategically planned and programmatic conversations with faculty, administrators, and students about the history, ethics, theology, and hermeneutics of the US borderlands from a diverse Latinx perspective. The central goal is not only to offer a counter story of the borderlands but ultimately to foster a life-giving vision of Latinidad for each host school’s educational ecology.
Team Members: Efraín Agosto (New York Theological Seminary), Gregory L. Cuéllar (Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary), Teresa Delgado (Iona College), Eduardo C. Fernández (Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University), Daisy L. Machado (Union Theological Seminary)
Music by Mrs. Nohemi Cuellar. Edited by Aiden Nathaniel Diaz. This podcast was made possible by the generous funding form the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion.
