Contents:
Hispanics in the United States : a sociohistoric overview. -- Urbanization : the Hispanic reality -- A historical exchange -- Hispanic people in a new context -- Missiological/ecclesiastical issues. -- Protestant-Roman Catholic dialogue -- The poor and justice -- Reconciliation -- Ecclesiastical structure -- Leadership training and education. -- Issues in leadership training -- Leadership development -- Mentoring.
Subject: "The Sleeping Giant" is the fastest-growing minority group in the U.S. - the Hispanic community. Hispanics, especially Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Mexicans, are changing society and the church. As a second-generation Puerto Rican, born and reared in El Barrio of New York City, Manuel Ortiz knows firsthand what it is like to be a Hispanic in the U.S. As a sociologist, he recognizes the exciting potential for the future of the church - if leadership development is undertaken. Ortiz first explores the unique needs and concerns of Hispanics in the U.S. Then he turns to key missiological issues, including Protestant-Catholic relationships, justice, racial reconciliation and ecclesiastical structures. Ortiz has interviewed numerous Hispanic leaders working in a variety of contexts and describes their models for ministry. Finally, the book focuses on leadership training and education, with a particular emphasis on developing second-generation leadership. The sleeping giant must not be ignored. This is a book that will awaken awareness of the possibilities of the Hispanic church.
