Thandeka will take the pulpit at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff on June 6th and will join us for our after service discussion. In addition to teaching at Meadville Lombard Theological School, Thandeka is President of the Center for Community Values (www.the-ccv.org), and an affiliated minister at the UU Church of Rockford, Illinois. She is the author of The Embodied Self: Friedrich Schleiermacher’s Solution to Kant’s Problem of the Empirical Self, and Learning to Be White: Race, Money and God in America. Her current research focuses on the nature, structure, and meaning of human affection and empathy in religious communities.
Before receiving her doctorate, Thandeka was an Emmy Award-winning television producer for sixteen years. An ordained Unitarian Universalist minister and theologian, she was given the Xhosa name Thandeka, which means “one who is loved by God,” by Bishop Desmond Tutu in 1984.
