Thirteen Peacemakers, Community-Builders, and Agitators for Faith and Justice
Meeting one: June 2016 – University of Virginia
Meeting two: June 2017 – Loyola University Chicago’s Water Tower Campus
The two-part SILT celebrated scholars, activists, laypeople, and religious leaders whose lived theologies produced and inspired social justice in the United States, and will produce a single volume entitled Can I Get a Witness? which will be published by Eerdmans and released in early 2019.
The first meeting, in June 2016, gathered the biographers at the University of Virginia. The writers attended seminars on theology and biography, discussed writing style and process, and met in workshop groups that supported each other throughout the writing process.
