In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Southeastern Synod Latiné Ministry-En Conjunto is proud to host a one-hour workshop on "Diversity in Unity."

Sunday, 4 October 2026, at 4:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm CT on Zoom.

Ethnic specific ministries and Hispanic congregations in the ELCA have contributed greater diversity to our Church. An unintended outcome of this practice has been the challenge to embody the unity of the Church, as we continue worshiping along ethnic lines and serving multi-ethnic and multi-generational immigrant communities. Though ethnic specific congregations fulfill the needs of first-generation immigrants, that might not be true for second- and third-generation immigrants.

This workshop is crafted as a toolkit to assist multi-ethnic and cross-generational church members to affirm and navigate their (inter)cultural identity in church life. The workshop will use listening, brainstorming, and building practical skills.

---------------------------

Los ministerios que son étnicos específicos y las congregaciones hispanas de la ELCA han aportado una mayor diversidad a nuestra Iglesia. Un resultado imprevisto de esta práctica ha sido el desafío de encarnar la unidad de la Iglesia, dado que seguimos celebrando el culto según líneas étnicas y sirviendo a comunidades inmigrantes multiétnicas y multigeneracionales. Si bien las congregaciones étnicas específicas satisfacen las necesidades de los inmigrantes de primera generación, es posible que esto no ocurra con los de segunda y tercera generación.

Este taller está diseñado como una herramienta práctica para ayudar a las/los/les miembros de congregaciones multiétnicas e intergeneracionales a afirmar y gestionar su identidad (inter)cultural en la vida de la iglesia. La metodología del taller incluirá la escucha activa, la lluvia de ideas y el desarrollo de habilidades prácticas.

As we begin Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month, the Southeastern Synod’s En Conjunto – Latiné Ministry invites you to join us for a special Bilingual Service of Lament.

Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the richness of our cultures, histories, languages, faith, and communities. It is also a time to acknowledge the pain, loss, injustice, displacement, and grief that are part of our shared histories.

Lament gives us permission to bring all of it before God. Our joys, sorrows, questions, and hopes. Together, we will create sacred space to name our grief, remember our stories, and trust in the God who meets us in the midst of it all.

September 23 at 7:00 P.M.

Al comenzar el Mes de la Herencia Hispana/Latina, el Ministerio Latiné de En Conjunto del Sínodo del Sureste les invita a acompañarnos en un Servicio Bilingüe de Lamento especial.

El Mes de la Herencia Hispana/Latina es un tiempo para celebrar la riqueza de nuestras culturas, historias, idiomas, fe y comunidades. También es un tiempo para reconocer el dolor, pérdida, injusticia, desplazamiento y el duelo que forman parte de nuestras historias compartidas.

El lamento nos da permiso para llevar todo esto ante Dios: nuestras alegrías, tristezas, preguntas y esperanzas. Juntos, crearemos un espacio sagrado para expresar nuestro dolor, recordar nuestras historias y confiar en el Dios que se encuentra con nosotros en medio de todo ello.

23 de septiembre a las 7:00 p. m.
En vivo en la página de Facebook del Sínodo del Sureste

The Diversity & Justice Task Force extends our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in and donated to our collection for SafeHouse Ministries during the Southeastern Synod Assembly 2026.

This year’s assembly theme, “Revive Us, God,” came to life through your generosity and compassion. Your donations are a tangible expression of Jesus' love and care for those who are often overlooked and marginalized. Together, you have helped support our neighbors experiencing homelessness in the Columbus community and have lived out Jesus’ call to care for “the least of these.”

Thank you for answering God’s call with open hearts and helping bring hope, dignity, and encouragement to God’s children. May God continue to revive us for service, justice, and love in the world.
