MNST 589     Episcopal Latino Ministry Competency Course  (3)

The Episcopal Latino Ministry Competency Course, co-sponsored by the School of Theology and the Episcopal Office of Latino/Hispanic Ministry, provides an overview of the historical, cultural, socio-demographic, and religious aspects of Latinos/Hispanics in the United States. This course addresses the pastoral and liturgical needs of dual-language congregations, and it explores the general characteristics of ministries aimed at immigrant and first-generation Latinos, as well as the more acculturated U.S. born Latinos. Designed for clergy, seminarians, and lay leaders, this course offers the theoretical background and practical tools necessary to discern the type of Latino/Hispanic ministry that best fits the particular setting and context of a congregation.
