I had the pleasure of enjoying a business lunch the other day with colleagues and friends to talk about the challenges and opportunities that Anglos encounter when catechizing in Latino culture. My Loyola Press colleague, Santiago Cortés-Sjöberg, is preparing to do a workshop on this topic at the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership in Las Vegas in April (I will also be speaking at this conference, but on a different topic…I was along for the fellowship and good food!). I contacted a couple of good friends who are DREs and who are ministering to growing Latino populations and the four of us sat down for a wonderful lunch and a couple of hours of discussion on the topic. Thanks Marge and Terry for you insights and for taking the time to share them with us!
Wow…just this Wednesday I went to lunch with my DRE & my bouncer.
I want this to coincidence to fit into the “great minds think alike” meme:
“great minds eat alike by going out for lunch with DREs” or something like that.
I wanna hear more about this bouncer!
She’s my ‘teacher’s helper,’ who keeps the miscreants in line….velvet glove…iron fist….
The kids know her as Madame Bouncer…no kidding!
Scary!
