4th Principle Dialogue Group: What is Critical Theory?

Thursday, December 8, 7–8:45 p.m. in King

Our own Rev Justin Almeida has offered to run a session of dialogue on critical theory. What is critical theory? How can it inform politics and faith? How is it related to post-modernism and to critical race theory? Join us for a productive conversation on a timely topic. Drop-ins welcome!

Here are two texts to to inform our discussion:

Hope to see you on the 8th!
