Theology in the Americas (Organization). Theology in the Americas records, 1951-1988 (bulk 1970s)

Title: Theology in the Americas records, 1951-1988 (bulk 1970s)

The Theology in the Americas Records document the general organization of this group, the two major conferences it sponsored, and contains files pertaining to its affinity groups. The Administrative Records encompass minutes and agendas of the executive committee; correspondence from executive secretary Sergio Torres and David Kalke, head of the coordinating team; files of the steering and national committees that planned the Detroit II Conference in 1980, and financial documents. The Conferences series contains records that pertain to the Detroit I Conference held in 1975 and include planning documents, information regarding the participants, and files concerning the reflection groups. The Detroit II files provide a history of the projects, applications of the participants in the various affinity groups as well as those of international guests, press articles, and an interview with black theologian James Cone, a proponent of Black Theology. There are also transcripts of the papers presented at the conference and a manuscript of the published conference proceedings, "Theology in the Americas" (1976). The Projects series includes material related to the various affinity groups sponsored by TIA. Files can be found for the Asian American Project, composed of two subunits: Pacific & Asian American Center for Theology & Strategies and the Pacific/Asian American Women for Peace and justice as well as TIA's Third Inter-ethnic/Indigenous Dialogue which included Asian Americans (1983). The Black Theology Project files contain information about one of the conferences it sponsored - "Black Church and Black Community: Unity and Action for Education" (Atlanta, August 1977), a draft of a paper by Jualynne Dodson about the Fourth Inter-ethnic/Indigenous Dialogue (1984), and minutes for meetings of the executive committee and board of directors of which Howard Dodson served as chair. The Native American Project files consist of administrative records and information concerning a 1979 conference which articulated the situation of Native Americans nationally, their relationship to other groups struggling for liberation, and to the Church. The Women's Project files also contain administrative material as well as information related to the project's theme of "Women, Work and the Economy." In addition, there are files pertaining to a reorganization which included a racial/ethnic women's coalition that embarked on a series of cross-cultural dialogues. The Women's Project continued until at least 1984 as the Coalition of Third World Women/Racial, Ethnic Women's Coalition. The Hispanic Theology Project dealt with problems of immigration, migrant workers, bilingual education, and related economic, social, political and cultural issues. Files pertain to several conferences and organizations, among them the Joint Strategy and Action Committee-Hispanic American Ministries, an Hispanic ecumenical gathering held in San Antonio, Texas in 1978, the Detroit II Conference in 1980, and Padres Asociados para Derechos Religiosos Educativos y Sociales (PADRES). Planning documents, conference evaluations, minutes of meetings, papers re liberation theology, and files discussing cooperation with Protestant organizations are also to be found in the Hispanic Theology Project records. Approximately 20% of the Hispanic Project files are written in Spanish. The Alternative Theology Project, also known as the White Affinity Group, was comprised of marginalized white middle class Americans who objected to being identified with the poor and oppressed but nonetheless experienced powerlessness in the political and socio-economic culture of the United States. Files relate to the planning of various conferences and workshops held between 1978 and 1984. A major theme within this affinity group was whether liberation theology could be applied to North America. Files document meetings held by the Religion and Labor Project, which emerged from the Detroit II Conference in response to the economic problems of the early 1980s. This project sought to bring together progressive spokespersons from the religious community and labor in an effort to advance new coalitions of community-based religious leaders "seeking alternatives to the capitalist system." The Task Force of Professional Theologians focused on ways that their group could contribute to the struggle for liberation. Records pertain to meetings it sponsored and preparation for the Detroit II Conference. The final series, Printed Matter, contains publications of the Theology in the Americas Project, including newsletters, a documentation series concerning the various affinity groups, books related to the conferences as well as two issues of a journal titled "Doing Theology in the United States in Dialogue with the Indigenous Nations and Traditional Peoples" (1985-1988).
