Schofield Calls for Hispanic Ministry Plan
Episcopal News Service. November 13, 1997 [97-2004L]
(ENS) Bishop Calvin Schofield of Southeast Florida recently called on his diocese to create a strategic long-term plan for reaching the Hispanic population. "Nationally, the Hispanic community continues to grow faster than any other group. And that growth is even faster within our diocesan boundaries. That's why I am calling upon the Hispanic commission... to present to us next year... a long-term strategic plan for Hispanic mission and ministry. This plan will be in conjunction with our larger diocesan plan and its call for growth and evangelism." The diocese's Hispanic commission recently created the Hispanic Ministry Institute to develop church leaders from the Hispanic community.
