There is a wide and growing gap in the Catholic Church in the
United States between the clergy, who are mostly of European
descent, and the large percentages of Catholics who identify as
Latinos. While the US Church has made a concerted effort to build
Hispanic ministries, many clergy and lay ministers are still
ill-equipped to understand the cultural background of their
parishioners, especially the large numbers who are foreign born.
Because of this disconnect, the Church risks missing ""the Hispanic
Moment"" in the US Church, in which the faith and traditions of
these newest waves of US immigration could not just exist in
parallel to English-language congregations, but enrich and enliven
the faith of the whole community while passing on the faith to
subsequent generations. Learning Spanish--while helpful--is not
enough. There are intercultural competencies that can only be
developed through practice, but it also helps already-busy clergy
to have a concise guide. In addition to knowing the scholarly
literature on cross-cultural preaching and Hispanic culture, Father
Michael Kueber has twenty years of experience serving first
generation Hispanic immigrants and their second generation
children. In Preaching to Latinos, Kueber provides the readers with
best practices for preaching to and leading their churches. As a
member of an ecumenical community, he is able to speak to members
of all Christian denominations.
