A local congregation of the United Church of Christ, Mayflower UCC in Englewood, approved official ownership of a bilingual church start ministry on Monday, January 26.
The church start, known as Liberation Community or Comunidad Liberación, was begun by Pastor Anne Dunlap last year, with Mayflower's in-kind and unofficial support.
This month's agreement, to be celebrated in Mayflower's worship service on Sunday, Feb. 1, includes a home for Liberation's finances, and a letter of call for Dunlap. With this call, she can be ordained a minister in the United Church of Christ.
Says Dunlap, "This is a very exciting moment not only for me but also for Comunidad Liberación. It strengthens us to continue dreaming and to put in action the vision God has given us for a bilingual, multi-cultural community of faith which takes justice very seriously."
