Finees Flores, leader in Hispanic ministries, dies at 78 - Methodist

“The Rev. Finees Flores Jr., 78, former editor of el Intérprete magazine and an influential figure in the United Methodist Church’s Hispanic ministries, died Nov. 18 at his home in San Antonio, after a long struggle with cancer.

He was editor of el Intérprete from 1973 to 1986, guiding the magazine from United Methodist Communications’ Evanston, Ill., office. He took the reins following an interruption in the publication, which had been published as el Intérprete in Puerto Rico from 1969 to 1971. During his leadership, the magazine became one of the first Spanish resources to reach the United Methodist Spanish-speaking population in the United States and Puerto Rico.”
