Descripción
Sumario:As part of the growing phenomenon of migration in a global scale, the massive migration of people to the Western countries, from the other regions of the world, becomes a threefold challenge to Christian churches. It is a challenge to Christian compassion, to an educational task inside churches, and to a prophetic ministry to society at large. It also becomes a missiological challenge as migrants are open to new commitments of faith. This article focuses on the migrant experience of Hispanic peoples and the responses of churches in Spain and the United States.
