Notes

Abstract:
The primary goal explored in this thesis project is to assess the issues around the role of the Diocesan Director of Hispanic Ministry, diocesan organizational strategies, networks, and relationships critical for Hispanic Ministry to thrive and not merely survive. A strategic theological hermeneutic or interpretative process of accompaniment is proposed from which diocesan leadership can critically reflect upon and understand their ecclesial organizational reality and strategically take action to address them. The Thesis Project uses a practical theological method that correlates the theological reflection with an ecclesiology of communion to describe the contours of an ecclesial organizational dynamic of diocesan ministry. It seeks to provide reflective tools that engage Diocesan Directors of Hispanic Ministry by promoting their leadership and providing the underlying structure that informs, forms, and transforms present and future diocesan organizational structures for Hispanic Ministry.
