Gerardo Valencia Cano, obispo de los pobres
The life and work of Gerardo Valencia Cano is well known in Colombian places where he was present, like Yarumal, Mitu and Buenaventura. Despite his prolific pastoral and missionary work in these communities, just few works explore his projects and his intellectual, literary, theological and ecclesial works in a deep and thoughtful way. However, new approaches, different perspectives and a serious documentary work show that the figure of Bishop Valencia Cano offers a multiplicity of approaches and also that his hectic life as a member of the Catholic Church of the 20th Century entails unspoiled gaps for the social sciences.La vida y obra de Gerardo Valencia Cano es bien reconocida en los lugares donde su figura delgada se hizo presente, es decir, Yarumal, MitĂș y Buenaventura. A pesar de que su obra pastoral y misional fue prolĂfica en estas comunidades, son pocos los textos que exploran de manera profunda y reflexiva sus proyectos, asĂ como su trabajo intelectual, literario, teolĂłgico y eclesial. Sin embargo, nuevas aproximaciones, diferentes perspectivas y un trabajo documental serio permiten evidenciar que la figura de monseñor Valencia Cano ofrece una multiplicidad de acercamientos y que su vida agitada como miembro de la Iglesia CatĂłlica del siglo XX supone intersticios todavĂa vĂrgenes para las ciencias sociales
