“The Challenge of the Salvadoran Martyrs”

It is almost 20 years to the day since Jesuit priest Jon Sobrino narrowly escaped being murdered by a government death squad alongside eight others, and he asks now: What have we learned since this atrocity? Sobrino will speak on the lessons of martyrs around the globe—including those who actively chose their roles and those that became martyrs unwillingly. A leading liberation theologian, Sobrino has devoted his life to helping the poor and oppressed.
