Theological balance of UPOLI at the end of the century and millennium

Abstract

This paper was published in a book in the occasion of the 40th anniversary of foundation of UPOLI (2007). Given its full validity, we have the honor to publish it in our Culture of Peace journal, as part of the accompaniment that the IMLK has been providing from our pages in the year of the 50th anniversary (1967-2017). The Rev. José Miguel Torres, ecumenical theologian, Baptist and pacifist pastor (R.I.P), gives us a theological reading of the foundation and development of UPOLI, the imagination of those who wrote their own history, factors that influenced wealth of his vision: biblical, political, sociological, historical and ecumenical. The ecumenical theologian leaves the doors open to new generations to continue enriching this history with new theological perspectives, also open and anticipated history that UPOLI represents.
