Rev. Kristina Lizardy-Hajbi, of Colorado Springs, says it is part of her calling as a Latina minister in the United Church of Christ, to reach across borders.
As part of that ministry, Lizardy-Hajbi will be taking a group this summer to Centro Romero, the UCC's new Justice and Witness Ministries site in southern California.
The aim of the trip is to equip UCC leaders in Colorado to deal faithfully with immigration concerns, the kind that historically have stymied white Protestants in the Southwest. The trip will be learning and leadership development focused. The hope is that churches who send delegates from Colorado will enter a process on their return, to discern their next steps in multi-cultural ministry.
Dates are set for (first choice) June 23-27, or (second choice) July 21-26.
