Launched at 2009 General Convention, Juan Oliver's definitive look at the history and potential future of Latino ministry in the Episcopal Church came at an opportune time. With Latino ministries growing around the country in all traditions, and with increasing resource and programmatic offerings being allocated to serve those communities, this highly descriptive handbook profiles the culture, faith, and importance of this emerging minority. Within the book chapters, Oliver surveys topical areas, such as:

  • Who/What is a Latino?
  • Latino Biblical Interpretation
  • Worship in a Latino congregation
  • The spiritual lives of Latinos
  • Latino authority and governance
  • Latino administration and stewardship
  • The Latino priest: Factotum or Specialist?
  • The Latino deacon
  • The Latino bishop
  • Non-Latinos in Latino ministry

Episcopal Women: Gender, Spirituality, and Commitment in an American Mainline Denomination (Revised)
The opening of the ordained ministry to women, in the larger context of the women's movement in America, has created an unprecedented situation within Protestant denominations. Women are now increasingly visible in religious organizations previously administered solely by men. Congregations, church agencies, educational institutions, and volunteer organizations are all affected by the "gender shift" within mainstream Protestantism. <em>Episcopal Women</em> is the first careful historical and sociological study of the impact of these gender changes on a particular religious institution. This groundbreaking volume includes essays on Episcopal theology and women's spirituality, the urban church, aging and the church, women's organizations, women donors, clerical leadership, and black women's experience in the Episcopal Church.
