Inculturated Pastoral Planning: The U.S. Hispanic Experience

by M Connors

Overview

More than ever before, the Church needs a true praxis theology, one that respects equally the intellectual and spiritual traditions of Christianity, while it contextualizes these traditions with the many concerns of the world. The present study is set in the light of the troubled history of relations between the United States and Mexico, and deals with the subtleties of the situation of Mexican Americans. His theological and pastoral project takes on the power of political analysis as well, enabling him to initiate some experimental thought not only on inculturation but on authentic liberation. It is to his greater credit that he listens to the voices of Mexicans and other Hispanics to testify to the importance of building a Church that deeply respects all local cultures.
