PMIN 2373 Hispanic Ministry in the 21st Century

As an introduction to Hispanic Ministry, this course provides a sweeping overview of the culture, history, and faith expressions of Mexican Americans. The course's specific focus on the Mexican American experience is not exclusive; rather, it provides a comprehensive framework that can be used as a pattern for understanding other cultures, especially other Hispanic cultures. The course deepens appreciation of the multicultural diversity in society and guides students through a process of understanding the opportunities, challenges, priorities, and complexities of Hispanic Ministry today and its future directions. Prerequisite: This course is appropriate for upper-division students in the Catholic Philosophy, Catechetics and Leadership concentrations. The course may not be repeated for credit.
