La Colectiva Teológica Latina

The third of four volumes in the Theological Education ¡Latinamente! series (Fortress Press), “La Colectiva Teologica Latina” brings together Latina community organizers, clergy, and scholars at various stages of their careers to explore leadership at the intersections of race, gender, and theological education.


Publication Description

Latina women have pushed against the challenges of patriarchy and white supremacy both within and outside of the Latine/Hispanic community. Yet little has been written on how Latinas have negotiated, pressed against, and even disconnected from power structures to innovate in communities. Whereas the second volume in the Theological Education ¡Latinamente! Series explores how one Latina leader innovated within theological education, this third volume explores how multiple generations of Latinas have used the tools they gained within theological education to innovate outside of its walls. 

“La Colectiva Teológica Latina” gathers Latina community organizers, clergy, and faculty at various stages of their careers who have used their training in theological education to innovate outside of the sector. By exploring the leadership of these women we gain a clearer picture of how theological education has dividends far beyond theological education and what new tools the sector needs to train the next generation of leaders.

Hispanic Scholars Program

Since its first Summer Session in 1989, the Hispanic Scholars Program (HSP) has sought to be a place of welcome in which theological education is made available to all students. In keeping with this commitment, the HSP does not discriminate in its admissions or program practices on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, or any other status protected by law. Applicants are evaluated using program-related criteria such as academic preparation, vocational interest, character, and commitment to theological study. The HSP has always served students, faculty, staff, administrators, and leaders from a wide range of backgrounds. Guided by the values of en conjunto (working together as a community), lo cotidiano (attending to the realities of daily life), and acompañamiento (walking alongside one another), we affirm that all people are created in the image of God and journey together in learning and faith.
