Description

The Hispanic Summer Program (HSP) is an annual two-week Master's level course of study primarily for Latino/a seminarians and taught by Latino/a faculty in theological education.  The program rotates to different institutions each year and is attended and taught by Latinos/as of several denominations.  As an ecumenical and pan-ethnic body, the Hispanic Summer Program is sponsored by 34 educational institutions of several denominations throughout the country and Puerto Rico.  The HSP provides several courses in English and several in Spanish.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Hispanic Summer Program is to supplement and enrich the theological and ministerial education being offered in seminaries and universities, with academic courses and other activities directly addressing issue of the Hispanic ministry and theology. As an ecumenical program it seeks to heal the divisions in the Latinos community fostered by denominational and theological differences.
