Abstract

Across the American Southwest mainline pastors ask about reaching Hispanics for their churches. There are several reasons why a pastor might embark upon such an endeavor. The fastest growing ethnic population in the Southwest is Hispanic. Large numbers of middle class Hispanics are, for all practical purposes, unchurched. These are but two of them and they are compelling. The paper explores four areas of Anglo-Hispanic relations relative to the mainline Protestant church: Anglo-Hispanic relations in the American Southwest; how some congregations have been able to make themselves attractive to Hispanics so the Hispanics would take membership in their congregations; a 'how to' pamphlet telling interested pastors what steps to take to integrate their congregations; and, reflections on the theological implications of such evangelism. The theological reflections are the author's own and are offered as a beginning exploration of the subject and not a resolution of the issues raised.
