January 2010 · Histoire monde et cultures religieuses

The Edinburgh 1910 World Missionary Conference Placed in the series of Anglican and Protestant mission Conferences from the middle of the Xix th century, the Edinburgh Conference represents a turning point.

The reports of the Commissions allowed for statements by the main leaders of the missionary movement and delegates from the young churches. The latter were not numerous but were determined to make themselves known as full partners in missionary work and wanted to work towards a postdenominational Church firmly established amongst their people. The main innovation was the creation of a Continuation Committee which was set up in 1921 in the form of the International Missionary Council.

Delia Fernández-Jones

While the church developed in part due to ethnic succession, this formation was possible because the congregation had a history of forming pan-Latino spaces that preceded the parish and went beyond it, including via a community organization. This chapter begins with an ... [Show full abstract] examination of Mexican and Puerto Rican experiences in pan-Latino religious spaces before they had a parish. It then traces white flight in the early 1950s from a particular neighborhood and from St. Joseph the Worker. Simultaneously, it examines how Latinos slowly moved into previously all-white housing near St. Joseph and eventually the church. From the 1960s and 1970s, St. Joseph emerged as a pan-Latino church. Over the next thirty years, the church became a site that is home to parishioners from various Latin American countries.
