Whose blog? Which practicality?
Thanks for supporting my writing! Hope you like the new view.
Welcome to my new blog! First off, a huge thanks to the Christian Century for hosting me. This publication—which has existed since 1884—has featured towering figures like Jane Addams, Reinhold Niebuhr, Martin Luther King Jr., and has recently hosted great bloggers such as Carol Howard Merritt and Drew Hart. I’m honored to be connected to the Christian Century’s tradition of solid public intellectual work and thoughtful/critical/ecumenical expression of faith. I’m also excited to make fresh contributions.
Some of you may be wondering, but who is Daniel José Camacho??? Well, I’m currently an M.Div. student at Duke finishing up my last year. Faith-wise: I was raised in an immigrant Latin@ church, turned conservative Calvinist in my teens, and I’m now a Presbyterian inspired by social gospel, decoloniality, and liberation theologies. I’m a 2nd generation Afro-Latino from New York born to Colombian parents. Politically, I identify as a leftist. I’ve written some stuff. I love Star Wars, Ana Tijoux, and pupusa church fundraisers. For something more formal, check out my bio. Naturally, many of my posts will be textured by my background and experiences.
To those of you who already know me and have previously supported my writing, thank you! Hope you like the new view. (And shout out to Stacy Guinto-Salinas for the beautiful header image on this blog.)
