Join us for a 2-part series to learn about Cuba’s rich history from the eyes of a Seminary Dean: Carlos Emilio Ham.  Carlos shares an unusual and unique story of his journey from Cuba to the U.S. -- and back to Cuba-- in the 1960’s.  Carlos was born in Cuba and raised in the U.S.  Yet, during the time of the revolution, when a great many were fleeing the country, Carlos’ family felt called to return. He decided to study at a Seminary during a period of ‘atheism’ and vocational crisis for religious leaders.
