Intensive four-day Spanish language course at ETSS

[ENS] Province VII's Center for Hispanic Ministries will offer an
intensive
course June 20-24 at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest
in
Austin, Texas for those preparing for mission to Latinos living in the
United States.

The Rev. Jaime Case, center director, will lead the course designed for
lay

Spanish language since instruction will be in English.

During the four days, participants will cover such topics as the
Latino/Hispanic in the United States, popular religious traditions, the
church year, celebrations, pastoral care, and Christian education.
Cultural
engagement, the importance of Hispanic Episcopal mission, traditions of
funding, demographics, and values, authority and culture will also be
explored.

Cost of the week - including housing and food on campus - is $600. The
class
is a two- credit hour equivalent course. For more information, visit

Since its founding in 1980, the Center for Hispanic Ministries has
advocated
for and supported ministry and evangelism to Latin Americans. The Center
is
the only such provincial resource in the Episcopal Church.

>From the publisher: "¿Cuál es modo adecuado de hablar de Dios a la
luz de
la realidad de las mujeres? Las ideas sobre Dios son creaturas
culturales
vinculadas al tiempo y al lugar en que han sido concebidas.

Hemos diseñado un modelo de lenguaje feminista cristiano a parir de
experiencias diversas: la memoria viva de la peculiar implicación de
la
Sabiduría en la historia de Jesús, y la inconcebible Sabiduría
Santa, que da
a luz y orienta al universo.

teóloga
católica reconocida en Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo.
