Bishop Monterrroso will also be the preacher for the opening Eucharistic on Monday afternoon. \nThe Conference is specifically designed this year to call attention to the vision of an expanded Hispanic/Latino ministry that reaches not only the traditional Hispanic immigrants\, but also those Latinos who have been in the U.S. for generations such as we have in the Southwest.

De acuerdo las presentaciones incluyirán el uso de la Red Social como comunicación más eficaz\, cómo utilizer el análisis demográfico del sector comercial para conectar con esos Latinos accultirizados que son mayormente biculturales y bilingues. Habrá también el diálogo acerca del tipo de culto y música que más le agrade a estos jóvenes Latinos\, la mayoría que son partidarios del inglés como su idióma cotidaria. \nPara descargar la planilla de inscripción\, los costos relacionados y el Horario de la Conferencia\, hagan copia del este link y póngalo en su “browser.”\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Z1AJpEDgm0NLKWoVZc_8FuDl5JIl5QKUZRKGmKs-Uzg/viewform \nPara más información\, llame al Rvdo Al Rodriguez\, número 512/695-6696\, o mande un correo electrónico al padrebeto1@gmail.com. \n¡Nos veremos este agosto en Austin! \nEl Revdo.

SUMMARY:2013 Payne Lecture features Stephanie Spellers
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to attend the 2013 Payne Lecture and reception on February 7\, 2013. \nThe Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers\, author and popular speaker\, will give the lecture at 7:00 p.m. \n“Of Babies and Bathwater: Navigating the Death of Establishment and the Rebirth of a Missional Episcopal Church” \nAnglicanism\, at its truest and best\, stretches one arm to embrace ancient catholic traditions and the other to embrace local contexts\, thus holding to its founding impulse “to keep the mean between the two extremes\, of too much stiffness in refusing\, and of too much easiness in admitting any variation from it.” How shall we keep these original commitments at a time of unprecedented change: mission contexts shifting overnight\, the church of the establishment crumbling before our eyes? What kind of leadership\, liturgical frameworks and pastoral care do we need to foster in order to keep the Anglican baby but pour in much-needed\, fresh bathwater? \nPlease RSVP here or by contacting Stacy Morales in the Dean’s office\, 512.439.0399 \n \nThe Reverend Canon Stephanie Spellers serves as the new Canon for Missional Vitality in the Diocese of Long Island\, catalyzing mission and ministry with the 146 Episcopal churches in Brooklyn\, Queens and Long Island. She is the author of Radical Welcome: Embracing God\, The Other and the Spirit of Transformation and founding priest for The Crossing community\, an emergent congregation based at the Cathedral of St. Paul in Boston. A popular speaker and consultant nationwide\, Canon Spellers is Chaplain to the House of Bishops and just completed a three-year term as co-chair for the Episcopal Church’s Standing Commission on Mission and Evangelism. She is a graduate of Harvard Divinity School and Episcopal Divinity School and — though she now calls Brooklyn home — she is proud to hail from a small town in Kentucky.
