At a clapboard church in this northern Virginia town, a small group gathers to rrrroll their R’s and add a little diversity to their resumes.
They’re members of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia clergy, seminary students and diocesan employees learning liturgical Spanish. Their goal: to conduct a church service in the language that’s growing in importance as Latinos examine faiths beyond their traditional Roman Catholic beliefs.
”There’s a growing recognition of the interests and the presence of Latino people,” said the Rev. David Colin Jones, who oversees four Latino congregations in northern Virginia.”*
