PRESBYTERIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Mid council leaders on cross-culturalism and pasión in ministry

Fred Tangeman | Office of the General Assembly - October 12, 2021

Last Wednesday a PHS LIVE panel lifted up the ministries of Hispanic and Latinx Presbyterians in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A).

Five mid council leaders shared their perspectives on their own ministries and identified ways Latinx and Hispanic Presbyterians contribute unique gifts to the PC(USA).

The panelists and moderator Nancy J. Taylor, Executive Director of the Presbyterian Historical Society, also identified ways the PC(USA) can better resource Hispanic and Latinx Presbyterians and learn from their experiences.

Hispanic and Latinx communities, hardly monolithic in culture and outlook, are severely underrepresented in mid council leadership and other areas of the PC(USA), including the collections of the Presbyterian Historical Society.

Spanish and English interpretation for the hour-long session was provided by Global Language Resources, a part of the PC(USA)’s Administrative Services Group, the business office of A Corp.
