笔谤别蝉别苍迟别谤蝉:听Paul Farmer, in conversation with Roberto Goizueta
Paul Farmer听is known for his humanitarian work providing "first world" health care for "third world" people. Cofounder of the world health organization "Partners In Health," he is described as "the man who would cure the world" in the award winning book听Mountains Beyond Mountains听by Tracey Kidder.听 Liberation theology has had a profound influence on Paul Farmer's humanitarian career and his commitment to health and human rights.听 Dr. Farmer is currently developing an "accompaniment model" in international aid delivery and is writing a book on accompaniment inspired by a preferential option for the poor.听 In his many writings, Roberto Goizueta has developed a theology of accompaniment that identifies companionship as central to a preferential option for the poor and a life of Christian discipleship.听 At this event, Paul Farmer and Roberto Goizueta discussed Farmer's vision for healthcare in resource-poor areas of the world and how the principles of liberation theology and Catholic social teaching shed light on the reality of social inequality.
