Elizabeth Armen 'Liz' Theoharis (born February 18, 1976) is an American theologian who is the co-chair (along with William Barber II) of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for a Moral Revival, and the Director of the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary.

She is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

1994

In 1994, Theoharis moved from her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to attend the University of Pennsylvania.

While there she became involved in Empty the Shelters, a student organization dedicated to ending homelessness related to the National Union of the Homeless, and the Kensington Welfare Rights Union.

1995

In 1995, as part of KWRU, she participated in the takeover of the abandoned St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Philadelphia by dozens of homeless families.

1998

Theoharis received her BA in Urban Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 1998.

2003

In 2003, along with other leaders from KWRU and the related Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign, she established the Poverty Initiative at Union Theological Seminary and the "Poverty Scholars Program" to build a network of grassroots organizations united around ending poverty.

In 2004 she received her Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary (New York City), and her Master of Philosophy in 2009 and PhD as the Henry Berg Scholar in New Testament and Christian Origins in 2014 from the same institution.

The title of her dissertation was "Will 'The Poor Be With You Always?': Towards a Methodological Approach of Reading the Bible with the Poor".

2013

The Poverty Initiative launched the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice, with Theoharis as one of its two Co-Directors (along with Larry Cox), in 2013.

2017

In 2017, Theoharis' first book, ''Always With Us?

What Jesus Really Said About the Poor'' was published.

The book combines reflections on her experiences as an organizer and educator in Philadelphia and with the Poverty Initiative with Biblical scholarship and theology to argue that Jesus' words in Matthew 26:11—"The poor you will always have with you"—are part of the Bible's call to end poverty.

Later that year the book was made recommended reading for all Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations through the denomination's "One Church, One Book" initiative.

Also in 2017, Theoharis became a national Co-Chair, with Rev. Dr. William Barber II, of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

During the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival's "40 Days of Action" in May–June 2018, she was arrested while leading a prayer on the steps of the Supreme Court as part of the campaign's protests in Washington, D.C. The next day a statement prepared by her was read out in a hearing with members of the Congress and Senate.

In November 2018, Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William Barber II gave an official TED talk titled "A Call for a Moral Revival".

In December 2018, Revive Us Again: Vision and Action in Moral Organizing, a book she co-authored with Rev. Dr. William Barber II and Rev. Dr. Rick Lowery, was published.

She was the co-chair of the campaign's "Poor People's Moral Action Congress," held from June 17-19th, 2019 at Trinity Washington University in Washington, D.C. At the event, she co-moderated a town hall with candidates for the 2020 Democratic Primary and testified before the House Budget Committee, along with other leaders from the campaign.
