The national has seen tremendous growth in the Hispanic population. This project challenges two assumptions as the church seeks to respond: (1) there is a formula for success in multi-ethnic ministry, and (2) small churches are not likely to be successful. This project is an anthropological narrative of a small, rural Anglo United Methodist Church in Tennessee that initiated and sustained an effective multi-ethnic ministry with Hispanics. The tension between the church as a movement and as an institution will be explored. The leadership work of cooperating with providence, of going through the doors that God opens, will be offered in place of a formula for success.
