KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - Sept. 14, 2018 - s4story -- In Preaching in the Interim: Transitional Leadership in the Lation/a Church, pastor and educator Efrain Agosto presents the hopes and possibilities of transitional ministry through the lens of a Latino/a church.

This book is a unique and practical compilation of sermons and personal pastoral reflections that demonstrate the rich theological and cultural heritage of US Latino/a congregations. The volume serves as a model for churches facing pastoral transition in a twenty-first century, especially in an urban and intercultural context.

This pastoral resource features 18 sermons preached through the seasons of the church year, from Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, through Lent and Easter. The sermons address the concerns of today's congregations, including the nature of local and universal church, the importance of Christian education, and the celebration of the roots of the Latino/a faith.

"While addressed primarily to Latinx churches and preachers, Dr. Agosto's sermons and notes model themes and methods for all churches and their clergy in transitional phases of ministry," states Rev. Rochelle A. Stackhouse, Transitional Minister at Center Church UCC in Hartford, Connecticut. Stackhouse continues, "Deftly combining deep biblical scholarship with the daily realities of the church, popular culture, and current events, these sermons help the Scriptures speak energetically to both elders of the church and younger Christians."
