Evangelical pastor challenges Central American stereotypes
Evangelical pastor Carlos Escorcia, a born again Assemblies of God member, backs Nicaragua’s Sandinista revolution and liberation theology. He denounces the idea that evangelicals oppose social justice and notes limited US pastor support while promoting a theology of reconstruction and a people’s ecumenism in Central America. He visits Central New York with talks in Syracuse and at Grace Episcopal Church and Maria Regina College.
