The 2018 General Convention passed a resolution recognizing the importance of “multicultural liturgies” and adding a number of liturgies from Latin American traditions to the Book of Occasional Services. This course will examine the historical development, theological significance, and common practice of these and other celebrations, including Día de los Muertos, las Posadas, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Día de los Tres Reyes, and Semana Santa. It will also consider rites of passage in Latino/a contexts, such as Quinceañeras and the Presentation of a Child. Students will learn the distinctive characteristics of these celebrations and practice designing liturgies for bilingual and multicultural congregations. Knowledge of Spanish is not required.
