    Hispanic Centers and Programs

    • The Mexican American Program (MAP) is an initiative committed to the ongoing work of recruiting, preparing, and providing continuing education to persons for ministry within the Latino/a community.
    • The Center for the Study of Latino/a Christianity and Religions seeks to promote a deeper understanding of the varieties of religious life and expression within the Latino/a communities in the United States and in Latin America by encouraging and facilitating research in the area of Latino Christianity and religions; working in partnership with the various degree programs at Perkins School of Theology in preparing religious leaders to minister in a social and religious context in which the Latino population is an increasingly significant factor; sharing the results of new ventures in scholarship in these areas and the insights gained through this work in ways that will be of value to the churches, the academy, and the wider society.
