Drawing on Freire’s liberation theology and concerns about marginalisation in radical pedagogy, the paper argues that academic modernity has separated spirituality and religious insight from rational enquiry.

By annunciation, I mean the role of love, affirmation, encouragement and profound encounters with otherness; by denunciation, Ihave in mind the spirit of critique and challenge to the established order of things. In the process, I question the marginalisation of liberation theology in Paulo Freire’s work among some radical educators. There has, I suggest, been a sundering of spirituality, and especially religious insight, from rational enquiry in the academic mainstream, which has influenced readings of Freire. Modernity has privileged intellectualism and critical rationality as the only valid way of knowing; matters of faith and varieties of religious experience have correspondingly been privatised.  \nKeywords: secularism, religion, capitalism, critical spirit  \nIntroduction: recovering the lost dimensions of Freire’s work  \nI consider in this paper a question of balance in popular education between what we can call annunciation, on the one hand, and  \n422 Linden West  \ndenunciation, on the other. A balance that can shape learner experience, for better or worse, in struggles for radical change, individually and collectively. By annunciation, I mean the role of love, affirmation and potentially profound, agentic encounters with otherness in existentially significant forms of learning; by denunciation, a spirit of critique and fundamental questioning of the established order of things. In the process, I challenge the neglect or marginalisation of the spiritual, and above all, liberation theology in Paulo Freire’s work. There has, I suggest, been a sundering of spirituality from rational enquiry in the academic mainstream. Modernity has privileged intellectualism and critical rationality as the only valid way of knowing; matters of faith and varieties of religious experience have been privatised.  \nThere can correspondingly be an overly rigid secularisation of educational experience, and a denial of religious inspiration, bringing a danger of hermeneutical reductionism and ontological sterility, as well as a psychological restriction. Freire developed a living, vibrant, loving religious as well as secular perspective within popular education, doing justice to the richness, complexity and existential challenges of ordinary human beings. He strove to establish the right balance between critique, and affirmation and encouragement, between love and critical action in the world. The roots of his liberation theology lie of course in profound inequalities, injustice and violence against the poor in Latin America, and more widely, as well as the conservatism and corruption of the Catholic Church. He was to insist provocatively that the poor were given the great gift of epistemological privilege within liberation struggles. They knew what it was like to suffer, bringing them closer to a suffering, crucified Christ. And thus, to understanding, experientially, what the priorities might be for wider human flourishing.  \nPopular education, for Freire, was an agentic, profoundly spiritual as well as material encounter within humanly and ecologically embodied historical processes, like capitalism. The biblical narrative of the annunciation symbolised history turned upside down: new life and hope being found not among the wealthy and privileged but incarnated in the experiences of a poor Palestinian girl from a backwater of the Roman Empire. The symbolism of her story is one of new, maybe divine, loving, spiritual and, critically, emancipatory potential entering the depths of being, providing profound resources of hope for a whole humanity.
