Oscar L. Bolioli (1934-2017) was an Uruguayan ecumenical leader, Methodist pastor, and scholar. Between 1982 and 2000 Bolioli served as director of the Latin American and Caribbean Department of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America. He led the São Paulo Process, which brought together churches as well as ecumenical and civil society organizations from all over Latin America and the Caribbean at a time when many countries were recovering from dictatorships and military regimes and struggling for democracy. This volume is drawn from that work.
