Abstract

This work is an analytical and systemic study on ministering to Latino immigrants in the city of Lynn, Massachusetts. The overall framework of this project is reflected in what Dr. Eldin Villafañe refers to as 'the hermeneutical circle of social ethics.' The description of this paradigm involved three important steps, which have each been presented from a systemic point of view: Clarification - what's going on? Conceptualization - what does the Bible and other pertinent discipline say? Confrontation - how do we respond? The first step, clarification involves doing careful social analysis to gain a contextual and comprehensive picture of the issue. It includes three important elements: the context of the Latino immigrants, the relevant needs of the LAtino immigrants, and the context of the Congregation Candelero de Dios (it is the introduction and chapter one). The second step, conceptualization involves biblical and theological reflection. The third step, confrontation involves developing clear strategies that flow out of confluence of the first two steps (chapter five). This work represents the attempt of a Latino church in the city of Lynn to develop a biblical sound and sociologically relevant ministry to Latino immigrants.
