Misa, mesa y musa: Liturgy in the U.S. hispanic church

World Library Publications

Good preaching and good ministry can happen only when the minister respects the way that the word has become flesh in a particular community: the way stories are told, children are raised, history is remembered, art is made. Wonderfully, this immersion is no chore. It is a delight. With an emphasis on preaching but a concern for all aspects of ministry, the eight authors of the articles in this book explore the blessing that is the Hispanic presence in the United States. Contributors include Rosa Maria Icaza, Maria Luisa Iglesias, SC, Jaime Lara, Juan J. Sosa, Raul Gomez, and Victor Alvarez. Their words will open the eyes of non-Hispanics and have wisdom for Hispanics themselves as all of us approach a privileged moment for the Catholic Church in the United States. Some of the articles in this new book appeared in the Fall/Winter 2000 issue of Chicago Studies. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.

The strength of U.S. Hispanic churches is an untold story documented in Emerging Voices, Urgent Choices: Essays on Latino/a Religious Leadership. In this pioneering volume, experts from various disciplines examine the remarkable contribution of Hispanic churches to U.S. society and the challenges their leaders face in serving the country's growing Latino population. Chapters analyze success stories in Latino/a ministry, specific issues for Catholic leadership and Protestant denominations, and the political and community-serving activities of diverse congregations. Together, the essays demonstrate how Hispanic churches of every denomination are generating social capital in neglected communities. The book updates previous research on religion that largely ignores U.S. Latino/as, and adds a new dimension to Latino Studies scholarship by recognizing the important role that religion plays in Hispanic life.
