Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
To mark Hispanic Heritage Month, the Rev. Dr. Lydia Muñoz writes about efforts by The United Methodist Church to include the diverse cultures of Latinx people in its tapestry. That includes the founding of Methodists Associated Representing the Cause of Hispanic Americans in 1971, and the National Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministry in 1992. Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15 - Oct. 15.
