Authors

Roberto Escamilla, First United Methodist Church, Ada, Oklahoma

Abstract

This article is a transcript from a chapel given at Asbury Theological Seminary on April 28, 1981 in Estes Chapel as part of the Freitas lecture series on Ministry Among the Hispanic People. This was one of the earliest lecture series devoted to the potential future of Hispanic ministry in the United States, and Escamilla lays out in a brief and engaging way, both the history and the potential influence of the Hispanic community on the culture and faith of the United States. Such an insightful review of the situation of Hispanic ministry from over 40 years ago, allows for a great deal of reflection from current scholars on Hispanic theology and the history of the development of the Hispanic Church in the United States.
