"En el Poder del Espíritu:” A Qualitative Research Study on Social Ethics/Theology among U.S. Latina/o Pentecostals __________ A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the University of Denver and the Iliff School of Theology Joint PhD Program University of Denver __________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy __________ by Néstor A. Gómez Morales June 2019 Advisor: Miguel De La Torre ©Copyright by Néstor A. Gómez Morales 2019 All Rights Reserved Author: Néstor A. Gómez Morales Title: "En el Poder del Espíritu:” A Qualitative Research Study on Social Ethics/Theology among U.S. Latina/o Pentecostals Advisor: Miguel De La Torre Degree Date: June 2019 ABSTRACT Are most US Latina/o pentecostals concerned about sharing the gospel without having any interest in the reality of oppression, discrimination, and marginalization? Are they just dancing and singing in their temples, having ecstasies and emotional experiences while ignoring the poor and their social struggle? Many scholars see US Latina/o pentecostalism as a tradition with an anemic social ethic, one that lacks any significant interest in the needs of the poorest in society. However, new research on progressive pentecostals shows a different panorama. The theological perspectives and social ethics of a vast sector of US Latina/o churches have changed considerably since its origins as a religious movement. New generations of pentecostals are ably addressing the needs of the poorest and marginalized in the context of the United States. Hence, this research project challenges the idea that Latina/o pentecostals are socially apathetic through a qualitative research study carried out in Iglesia Cristiana Ebenezer, a Hispanic pentecostal church in Los Fresnos, TX, just outside Brownsville and South Padre Island. This church has a social ministry called The Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries that primarily serves refugees seeking safety from persecution in their home countries. Iglesia Cristiana Ebenezer is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a mainline Protestant denomination. ii The research questions explore the pentecostal mission, theology, and ethics that motivate Latina/os to social ministry. The hypothesis of this proposal is that the pneumapraxis observed in the daily life of the US Latina/o pentecostals is fundamental for understanding their social concern with the oppressed and marginalized. The pneumapraxis is analyzed not only as a practice of the Espíritu, but as lived experiences of the articulation of practices, convictions, beliefs, and affections of the Latina/o pentecostal ethos and spirituality in an integrative model. The study concludes that US Latina/o pentecostals speak less about mission, theology, and ethics as motivating them to serve the poor. Rather, Latina/o pentecostals experience the mission of Jesus when they preach the gospel and help the poor; they do not have an articulated theology but live it every day; and they do not conceptualize their moral values but embody the fruit of the Espíritu as moral virtues and as a testimony of an authentic Christian moral life. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A doctoral dissertation is a not only an individual work, but a communal one. The completion of my doctoral dissertation has been the result of the support and encouragement of many people. There is no space to mention all those who influenced my work, but I will mention a few in particular. I am grateful to my committee who invested time and provided me with the support needed to complete this work: Miguel De La Torre, Debora Ortega, and Jennifer S. Leath. Miguel De La Torre, my advisor, walked with me throughout this journey of experience and knowledge. Debora Ortega provided me a grant through the University of Denver Latino Center for Community Engagement and Scholarship, to do my research in Los Fresnos, TX. Jennifer S. Leath made great comments and suggestions to improve my dissertation proposal. Thanks also to the late professor Luis León, who assessed my dissertation methodology and recommended that I write one extra chapter about the history of Iglesia Cristiana Ebenezer. My gratitude also to Edwin D. Aponte and the great staff at the Louisville Institute, which provided me with a dissertation fellowship to complete my work. Joanne Rodríguez, Executive Director of the Hispanic Theological Initiative, introduced me to Ulrike Guthrie, who was so patient and professional and who edited all my writing. Thank you so much, Uli. Thanks also to some good friends who assisted me with their support. In particular to: Aaron Conley, a great friend who helped me edit part of my work, and with whom I have enjoyed thousands of coffees and beers discussing many issues about my theology and ethics; and R. J. Hernández, who opened many spaces of time and place to discuss many ethical perspectives that came alive in these pages. Iliff was a space of refugee. Staff, students, and faculty—what great people they are! Finally, iv I have no words to express my enormous gratitude to the people at Iglesia Cristana Ebenezer. They were so friendly and kind when I was in the field. They made me feel at home. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Introduction ………………………………………………………. 1 Introduction ……………………………………………………………… 3 Defining the Topic ………………………………………………………. 4 General Literature Review ………………………………………………. 9 Thesis and Scope ………………………………………………………… 20 Conceptual Framework ………………………………………….. 21 Main Theorists …………………………………………………… 26 Research Methodology …………………………………………………… 32 Significance and Contribution to the Field ………………………………. 35 Positionality Toward the Research ………………………………………. 36 Outline of Chapters ………………………………………………………. 37 Chapter Two: Methodology ………………………………………………………. 40 Introduction ………………………………………………………………. 41 Rationale for Qualitative Research ……………………………………….. 43 Studying Lived Religion as a Phenomenological Approach ..……………. 45 Research Participants ……………………………………………………… 53 Overview of Research Design ……………………………………………. 54 Literature Review ………………………………………………………… 55 Data Collection …………………………………………………………… 55 Phase I: Exploring and Contacting ……………………………….. 56 Phase II: Recruiting ………………………………………………. 57 Phase III: Interviewing ……………………………………………. 58 Phase IV: Reviewing ……………………………………………… 62 Data Analysis and Synthesis ……………………………………………… 62 Phase I: Reading ………………………………………………….. 62 Phase II: Initial Coding …………………………………………… 63 Phase III: Theming the Data ……………………………………… 65 Ethical Considerations ……………………………………………………. 67 Credibility ………………………………………………………… 68 Dependability and Confirmability ……………………………….. 70 Transferability ……………………………………………………. 71 Risks ……………………………………………………………… 72 Benefits to Subjects / Future Benefits ……………………………. 73 Positionality of the Researcher …………………………………… 73 Summary …………………………………………………………………. 75 Chapter Three: History of Iglesia Cristiana Ebenezer …………………………… 76 Introduction ………………………………………………………………. 76 The Christian Church Disciples of Christ: A Brief Sketch ………………. 77 A Historical Encounter …………………………………………………… 96 A Theological Encounter …………………………………………………. 106 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………… 112 vi Chapter Four: Pentecostal Misión Integral ……………………………………….. 114 Introduction ………………………………………………………………. 114 Misión Integral is Associated with Past Experiences …………………….. 118 Misión Integral Means Change …………………………………………… 130 Misión Integral Supplies the Needs of the Poor ………………………….. 141 Misión Integral as Making Disciples …………………………………….. 149 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………... 155 Chapter Five: Pentecostés as Narrative Theology ………………………………... 157 Introduction ………………………………………………………………. 157 Pentecostés Theology of Imago Dei ……………………………………… 162 Pentecostés Theology of Love ……………………………………………. 172 Pentecostés Theology of Spiritual Gifts ………………………………….. 181 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………... 197 Chapter Six: Pentecostal Social Ethics …………………………………………… 198 Introduction ……………………………………………………………….. 198 Pentecostal Ethics as Virtues of the Espíritu ……………………………… 201 Pentecostal Ethics of Acompañamiento ………………………………….. 219 Pentecostal Ethics for a Dignification of Life ……………………………. 231 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………... 239 Chapter Seven: Conclusions ……………………………………………………… 240 Bibliography ……………………………………………………………………… 254 Appendices ………………………………………………………………………… 274 Appendix A ……………………………………………………………….. 274 Appendix B ……………………………………………………………….. 275 Appendix C ……………………………………………………………….. 276 Appendix D ……………………………………………………………….. 277 Appendix E ……………………………………………………………….. 278 Appendix F ……………………………………………………………….. 279 Appendix G ……………………………………………………………….

  • Integrity of Mission in the Light of the Gospel: Bearing Witness of the Spirit Among Africa’S Gospel Bearers
    Integrity of Mission in the Light of the Gospel: Bearing Witness of the Spirit Among Africa’s Gospel Bearers Paper Presented at the 11th International Conference of the International Association for Mission Studies By Philomena N. Mwaura Kenyatta University Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies Port Dickson, Malaysia 31st July – 7th August 2004 Introduction I count myself honoured to be asked to address this 11th International Conference of IAMS on the theme, “The Integrity of Mission in the Light of the Gospel: Bearing Witness to the Spirit.” When I was asked to contribute to this conference, I was notably delighted and alarmed. Delighted because of the gratiousness shown to me by the organizing committee; but nevertheless alarmed because the task presented a dilemma. To write adequately about the issues of integrity of mission, requires an exhaustive survey of the context and content of mission by the church in Africa in a context that is both diverse and complex. This was a daunting task bearing in mind that I do not consider myself a missiologist in the real sense of the word and neither am I a clergyperson or engaged in ministry on an active basis. Perhaps however, this gives me a privileged objective position from which to ask the questions, what is mission? What is the content and context of mission in Africa? What does integrity mean and how does it relate to mission? In what ways does the Church in Africa embody integrity of mission? What challenges face the Church in Africa today and how is she responding to them? How can the Church in Africa be better equipped to be a bearer of the Good News in an integral manner? This paper will address these questions bearing in mind that mission implies, “the calling of the church at every level and in every place to be part of God’s mission in the world” (Kirk 1999:24).

  • The Continued Relevance of David Bosch
    Mission Educators Forum: The Continued Relevance of David Bosch Dr John Corrie Introduction Thank you for the opportunity – even though I’m not teaching mission full-time now, my passion for mission and the teaching of mission is undiminished, as is also my passion for Bosch. So both those passions happily come together in this conference. I began teaching at ANCC in 1991, the year of publication of Transforming Mission, so that was a tremendous gift to me as I started to work out a theology of mission and how to teach it. I didn’t have a theology of mission before that – at least not one that was worked out. I had certainly not been given it at theological college, so I was working it out as I went along in ministry. So Bosch has been my ever-present friend and mentor as I have travelled that journey over the last 25 years. Students would say that if Barth had a newspaper in one hand and a Bible in the other, Corrie had Bosch in one hand and a Bible in the other. The key question I have grappled with over the years is this: what is our aim when we teach mission? One of my main aims has always be to give students the knowledge and tools to be able construct their own theology and ecclesiology of mission and to be able to use that in their future practice of mission. As we know there are theologies and ecclesiologies (plural) of mission and students need to be aware of the range of the alternatives and be able to critique them, including being aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their own approach.

  • Transforming Anglicanism: Elements of an Emerging Anglican Mission Paradigm
    255 JOHN CORRIE Transforming Anglicanism: Elements of an Emerging Anglican Mission Paradigm Few would question that Anglicanism is undergoing significant change at present but often this is not interpreted in a missional framework. John Corrie here offers such an approach to Anglican identity, arguing that we need to see beyond current conflicts to discern an emerging missional paradigm. He argues that this paradigm will be crucial for future Anglican unity and provide an approach to mission that is integral, sacramental and Trinitarian. Introduction You don’t need to be a missiologist to recognise my take on David Bosch’s Transforming Mission in the title of this article. The point of this echo is that I want to suggest that Anglicanism needs a new paradigm for its identity if it is to survive even to halfway through this century, and that that new paradigm needs to be missional. If a new paradigm is to emerge from out of the current crisis in Anglicanism then, as Bosch suggested was the case for his own thesis, it must have significant roots in the history of the tradition. The resources for renewed identity are, in other words, already there within Anglicanism. Bosch’s paradigm built upon six phases of Christian history identified by Hans Küng, taking from each of them what was of abiding significance and incorporating those elements into his own vision. Anglicanism needs to do something similar. It cannot deny its traditions and its history, but it has got stuck in an institutional and conflictual paradigm from which it can only be released by the transforming vision of mission.

  • Hollywood, U. S.-Mexican Relations, and the Devolution of the «Golden Age» of Mexican Cinema SETH FEIN
    Hollywood, U. S.-Mexican Relations, and the Devolution of the «Golden Age» of Mexican Cinema SETH FEIN The 1948 release of Río Escondido was a triumph of the Mexican film industry. It represented the possibilities that seemed in reach of the postwar Mexican film sector: sovereign control of an economically viable, artistically vibrant, nationally dominant, mass-cultural medium capable of producing Mexican stories, myths, and images. In the film, the President of the Republic-played in a cameo by President Miguel Alemán himself-personally sends Rosaura Salazar, portrayed by María Félix, to the town of Río Escondido to teach in a public school. He explains to her that it is her duty to fulfill the nation’s destiny for a modern literate society. In the town, aided by an idealistic young doctor, played by Fernando Fernández, she challenges local corruption and intimidation-loyally serving the education program of the central government. She invokes national symbols of liberal progress and patriotism, especially Benito Juárez, in teaching her indian students. Although the film is paternalistic toward indian culture, glorifies the benevolent centralized authority of the state, and often treats various characters as sentimental stereotypes, these flaws are the same ones common to commercial mass culture worldwide. What is significant about Río Escondido is its nationalist plot and theme, and the way they were expressed in Emilio Fernández’s script and direction and through the powerful images created by Gabriel Figueroa’s award-winning cinematography. Whatever its flaws, Río Escondido is a decidedly Mexican film of very high technical quality. 1 The release of Río Escondido came during a period of tremendous quantitative and qualitative growth in the Mexican film sector.
