Dr. Snyder's presentation is titled, "Religion Transforming Unjust Structures in Guatemala". Below is the presentation abstract.
 
Presentation Abstract
This presentation argues for the transformative role of the Catholic Church in addressing social injustice within the context of Guatemala.  It demonstrates the prophetic role of the Church which has spoken out against the Guatemalan government for their neglect of the basic human rights of its citizens.  Likewise, this presentation highlights the reconciliatory function of the Church by promoting forgiveness and reconciliation within the public square.  The Guatemalan approach brings together the high moral ideals of love, justice, forgiveness, and peace while at the same time acknowledges the ever-present reality of sin and human weakness.  It attempts to transform an unjust society into a moral community whose citizens are on a journey toward the destination of temporal peace.
