The Power of Religion: For Oppression and For Liberation
Thursday, December 13th 6:30-8:30
Cedar Commons (2001 Riverside Ave. S, below Trinity offices)
Join us for a meal and conversation as we engage the topic of religion as a tool for perpetuating oppression, as well as a powerful force towards liberation.
* What makes religion so susceptible to use as a tool of violence and control?
* How do organizations with power hijack or manipulate religion to carry out oppression in the name of their faith?
* Why and how does certain theology try to explain away suffering, justify oppression and quell courageous resistance?
* How, instead, can religion fuel the work of liberation?
Hosted by: Augsburg Interfaith Scholars and Interfaith @ Cedar Commons

This action plan drafted by members of Augsburg Day Student Government (ADSG) summarizes the student feedback that was gathered during a panel-led discussion held on November 29th titled “What’s Next?” by ADSG.
The panel-led discussion consisted of the Student Body President facilitating discussion and six other representatives of ADSG responding to ideas and interests presented by students. Students who were in attendance voiced their expectations of ADSG and the university’s administration.
This document has four sections: what feedback has come from students, what is currently being addressed by non-ADSG parties, what changes ADSG wants to see occur, and ADSG actions/communications/timeline.
There is also a link to a survey that students may fill out with any further comments, feedback, ideas or concerns.
