John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Michael Fricke and Lília Dias Marianno

June 14, 2022 @ 10:00 am 12:00 pm PDT

Topic: Jorge Pixley’s Liberating Process Theology A Tribute

Presenter(s): Michael Fricke and Lília Dias Marianno

Dr. George Pixley is a Baptist missionary who taught biblical studies in seminaries in Nicaragua and Mexico City. (A brief biodata in Spanish can be found here.) He first encountered process theology through contact with Bernard Loomer at the University of Chicago. His retirement in Claremont, California brought him close to the work of the Center for Process Studies, which featured Pixley’s integration of biblical studies, liberation theology, and process theology for its Latin American Project. Pixley’s 2003 essay summarizes his thought.

Participating in the tribute to Dr. Pixley’s work will be Prof. Dr. Michael Fricke, who holds the chair for Protestant theology with a focus on religious education and didactics of religious education at the University of Regensburg. Fricke wrote his dissertation on Pixley’s Bible interpretation in Nicaragua. Another participant will be Dr. Lília Dias Marianno, Director of Eagle Gestão do Conhecim, and educator at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The event is organized by Ignacio Castuera, long associated with John Cobb and the Claremont School of Theology. Dr. Pixley’s son Kevin will also participate.
