Vision for Hispanic Ministry Apostolate
DIOCESAN GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
ADOPTED FROM: General Objective of the Hispanic National Pastoral Plan
TO LIVE AND PROMOTE...
by means of a Pastoral de Conjunto
a MODEL OF CHURCH that is:
communitarian, evangelizing, and missionary,
incarnate in the reality of the Hispanic people and
open to the diversity of cultures,
a promoter and example of justice...
that develops leadership through integral education...
THAT IS LEAVEN FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN SOCIETY
MINISTRY WITH HISPANICS is to:
- Promote the enculturation of the gospel in all cultures
- Be conscious of your own cultural heritage and relate to Hispanics with respect and appreciation for the differences and common points
- Use the concept of enculturation of the gospel as a point of reference for ministry efforts
- Be willing to become a bridge builder among cultures
- Avoid the tendency to consider your own culture as the most valued one
- Commit to a spirit of mission and to the transformation of all cultures.
