I went what is considered the most conservative seminary in the US in a Southern state and I had a big problem in theology courses when liberation theology and black liberation theology specifically were both included and taught not from a viewpoint of heresy but as legitimate orthodox forms of understanding. It was obvious that this was the case due to wanting acknowledge what different groups have added and brought to the table so to speak. However when these theologies are totally out of bounds and heterodox they should have been grouped as heresies and taught in that way. Liberation theology and it’s variants are like a cancer and they were subtly or passively condoned as a form of celebrating diversity; affirmative action for theology. I pointed this out to the professor during a large class and was met with silence. Given this was ten years ago. I was always shocked that a significant amount of both professors and students were likely sympathetic if not openly on the left and people were completely enamored with both green religion and all things international/globalist/ united nations to a fault and many had trouble when asked if they believed in borders and sovereignty for the USA. I’m sure it is only worse now.
