Gloria Kinsler, retired missionary, translator and sanctuary advocate, recently presented the poetry of Julia Esquivel at Whitworth. Esquivel is a Guatemalan poet, theologian and human-rights activist who has traveled through Europe, the United States and Canada, speaking, organizing and advocating on behalf of suffering people in Guatemala. Kinsler, Esquivel's longtime friend, has served in Central America for 26 years as a Presbyterian mission worker. She also spent 13 years in Guatemala, teaching at the Seminario Evangelico Presbiteriano. Kinsler's visit was presented by Whitworth in collaboration with Spokane's 2007 Faith in Action Dialogue.
