Tagged: border, Professor, Puerto Rican, TexasPosted on: October 10th, 2007“Not only are Latino immigrant churches changing the culture, they are impacting the religious climate of America, said a theology professor from Puerto Rico on Tuesday night.
“The world of Latino immigrant congregations is diverse, challenging and changing,” said Luis Rivera, director of the Center for the Study of Latino/a Theology and Ministry at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. “They have changed the face and faith in this country.”
Rivera spoke at the Dee J. Kelly Alumni Center for the crossing borders lecture series organized by the Brite Divinity School’s Borderlands Center for Latino/a Church Studies.”
