Christian Base Communities, the vehicle by which liberation theology is put into practice, played a significant role in Nicaragua’s Sandinista revolution. Their proclaimed renewal is happening under dramatically different contexts from which they first emerged. Their religious beliefs continue to justify and place a moral thrust on their struggle for a more egalitarian society despite the reduction of social programs on the part of neoliberal governments, including the current Sandinista party administration. I recorded elicited and un-elicited autobiographical narratives that are integral to participation as religious and political subjects. CEB participants recount processes of transformation, in which a new identity is being crafted by people on the economic margins capable of effecting change within the church and society. I focus upon liberation theology as a part of anthropology of Christianity and Catholicism. In that light I ask, might contemporary CEBs function as theological revolutionaries, seeking to transform Catholic practice? v Contents Chapter 1: Introduction....................................................................................................... 1 My Introduction to Liberation Theology ........................................................................ 2 Research Statement......................................................................................................... 5 Nicaragua’s Christian Base Communities and My Fieldsite ........................................ 12 Contemporary Nicaragua.......................................................................................... 19 Current Institutional Relationship with the Catholic Church ................................... 20 Ethnographic Fieldwork............................................................................................ 21 Research Participants.................................................................................................... 22 Positionality .................................................................................................................. 23 Research Plan and Methods.......................................................................................... 24 Research Significance................................................................................................... 26 Chapter Summaries....................................................................................................... 28 The Narrators ................................................................................................................ 29 Chapter 2: The Anthropology of Christianity and Historical Ideological Forces in Nicaragua .......................................................................................................................... 36 Contemporary Christian Base Communities in Nicaragua........................................... 41 Anti-Imperial Struggle and Revolution .................................................................... 43 CEBs and Revolution................................................................................................ 49 Identity Scholarship in Nicaragua................................................................................. 52 Contemporary CEBs in the Second Sandinista Period ................................................. 53 Chapter 3: Relanzamiento of Liberation Theology........................................................... 61 Liberation Theology...................................................................................................... 61 Ebb and Flow of Christian Base Communities............................................................. 67 Relanzamiento............................................................................................................... 73 A Sisterhood in Service to CEBs, and the Desire for Religious Accompaniment ....... 79 Disjuncture.................................................................................................................... 86 Chapter 4: Autobiographical Narrative and the Production of the Kingdom of God on Earth.................................................................................................................................

  • Linking Shade Coffee Certification to Biodiversity Conservation: Butterflies and Birds in Chiapas, Mexico
    Ecological Applications, 14(3), 2004, pp. 642±654 q 2004 by the Ecological Society of America LINKING SHADE COFFEE CERTIFICATION TO BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION: BUTTERFLIES AND BIRDS IN CHIAPAS, MEXICO ALEXANDRE H. MAS AND THOMAS V. D IETSCH1 School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1115 USA Abstract. Shade coffee certi®cation programs have emerged over the past six years to verify that coffee marketed as ``shade grown'' is actually grown on farms that provide higher quality habitat for biodiversity. In spite of good intentions and an increasing market, little consensus exists on whether current criteria can successfully identify coffee farms of conservation signi®cance. This paper provides the ®rst ecological evaluation and compar- ison of shade-grown coffee criteria used by major certi®cation programs. Using vegetative data, we evaluated criteria developed by the Rainforest Alliance, the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC), and the Specialty Coffee Association of America across a range of coffee agroecosystems in Chiapas, Mexico, to determine which management practices each program would certify. Fruit-feeding butter¯ies and forest bird species found in these coffee agroecosystems were compared with nearby forest reserves as indicators of biodiversity and conservation potential. These agroecosystems fall into three categories: rustic, com- mercial polyculture, and shaded monoculture. The rustic system contained signi®cantly higher fruit-feeding butter¯y diversity and an avifauna more similar to that found in forest reserves than the other systems. This was also the only agroecosystem that met the criteria for all certi®cation programs, while the shaded monoculture fell short of all sets of criteria.

Others hoped, and some always knew it would. On May 23, the Catholic Church beatified Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdamez, of El Salvador, who was assassinated in 1980 while celebrating Mass, just a day after pleading and ordering soldiers to stop killing innocent civilians. “Blessed Romero is another brilliant star that belongs to the sanctity of the Church of the Americas,” said Cardinal Angelo Amato, head of the Vatican’s Congregation for Saints’ Causes, during the ceremony in San Salvador. “And thanks be to God, there are many.” While those who persecuted Deacon Adam Ahern is all smiles as he gives a tour through the chapel at Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary in Indianapolis, the setting where he him have died or first had the opportunity to test his call to the priesthood.
