Atando Cabos

In this episode of OP Talks, Professor of Educational Leadership Dr. Mary Hess talks to Hispanic Bible theologian Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Conde-Frazier about her book Atando Cabos: Latinx Contributions to Theological Education (Eerdmans, 2021). “We find ourselves in a time when the forms of ‘church’ are transitioning,” writes Rev. Dr. Conde-Frazier. “Theological education may become more of a journey that responds to the needs of that pilgriming community of discernment and activism than an institutional place with courses representing academic or church traditions to be transmitted. Let us follow the Spirit, who, like the wind, is universal, unpredictable, and outside our control.” Along with the book, this conversation is part of the Theological Education between the Times (TEBT) series, an initiative out of HTI member school Emory University Candler School of Theology that "gathers diverse groups of people for critical, theological conversations about the meanings and purposes of theological education. The project begins with a recognition that theological education is between the times, on the way. And it works in the confidence that we do not walk this road alone."
