Dr. Alicia Marill, President-Elect of ACHTUS (Academy
of Catholic Hispanic Theologians in the US), will deliver the presidential
address at the ACHTUS Annual Meeting and Colloquium this June in
Dayton, Ohio. The theme of the Colloquium, “Nuestra Realidad:
Toward a Hispanic/Latino/a Theology of Human Experience” will
explore issues arising from the experience el pueblo hispano. “It
is my hope that the conversation partners…will treat these
theological themes with a bearing on the prophetic edge, the voices
of our people, and its pedagogical and ministerial implications,”
she said. Marill continues her involvement with Amor en Accion’s
evangelization mission, and is working with the Archdiocese of Miami
on Cuban community relations with the Church of Cuba at sessions
held this fall and winter.
