Southminster es la \u00fanica iglesia afroamericana de la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synodsun.org\/\">S\u00ednodo del Sol<\/a> y el Presbiterio del Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n, aportando diversas perspectivas y experiencias a la familia eclesi\u00e1stica en general y enriqueciendo el tapiz de la comunidad de fe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Una rica historia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El viaje comenz\u00f3 en 1952 cuando el Rev. Robert P. Johnson de la Junta de Misiones Nacionales de la Iglesia Presbiteriana Unida fue invitado por el Rev. Douglas Vance, Ejecutivo del S\u00ednodo, y el Rev. Claude L. Morton, misionero de escuela dominical, a estudiar las muchas nuevas comunidades emergentes en Arizona con la idea de comenzar nuevas Iglesias Presbiterianas en cada una de ellas. El \u00e1rea de Broadway en Phoenix parec\u00eda ideal para una nueva iglesia.<\/p>\n<p>Se pidi\u00f3 al reverendo G. Benjamin Brooks que hiciera una evaluaci\u00f3n inicial para determinar si hab\u00eda suficientes personas en la zona de Broadway para justificar una nueva iglesia. Seg\u00fan los archivos de la iglesia, la encuesta revel\u00f3 que no hab\u00eda personas en la zona con antecedentes presbiterianos, pero que hab\u00eda suficiente inter\u00e9s para explorar las posibilidades de establecer una iglesia en la comunidad.<\/p>\n<p>El primer servicio se celebr\u00f3 en un peque\u00f1o edificio alquilado en noviembre de 1953. En marzo de 1954, la nueva comunidad se organiz\u00f3 como congregaci\u00f3n con 52 miembros fundadores.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Un legado de servicio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bajo el liderazgo del reverendo Brooks, Southminster se convirti\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente en una parte vital de la comunidad, ofreciendo numerosos programas para j\u00f3venes y adultos. El compromiso de la iglesia con la justicia social ha sido un sello distintivo de su misi\u00f3n, abogando por los derechos civiles y sirviendo a los marginados. \"La iglesia, si ha de ser un instrumento del Evangelio de Cristo, debe servir a la comunidad y a las personas con o sin afiliaci\u00f3n religiosa\", sol\u00eda decir Brooks.<\/p>\n<p>Southminster ha sido pionera en diversas iniciativas sociales, como la educaci\u00f3n infantil, los programas extraescolares, el asesoramiento sobre abuso de sustancias y los programas de alimentaci\u00f3n para personas sin hogar y ancianos. Tambi\u00e9n ha estado a la vanguardia del Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles, trabajando incansablemente para promover la igualdad y la justicia para todos. La iglesia ha sido un catalizador del activismo pol\u00edtico, capacitando a sus miembros para presentarse a cargos p\u00fablicos y marcar la diferencia en su comunidad. Se ha tomado Mateo 25 muy a pecho, sirviendo a los pobres y enriqueciendo la vida de los desesperados.<\/p>\n<p>Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, Southminster se adapt\u00f3 a los retos mediante la transici\u00f3n a servicios de culto virtuales. Esta nueva herramienta permiti\u00f3 a la iglesia permanecer conectada con su congregaci\u00f3n y ampliar su alcance a trav\u00e9s de la tecnolog\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Un futuro brillante<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hoy, bajo el liderazgo del Rev. Reginald Ragland, Southminster contin\u00faa su legado de fe, esperanza y servicio. Mientras la iglesia celebra su 70 aniversario, mira hacia el futuro con optimismo y entusiasmo.<\/p>\n<p>\"La historia de Southminster todav\u00eda se est\u00e1 escribiendo\", dice Ragland. \"Estamos comprometidos con nuestra misi\u00f3n de amar a Dios y amar a todos, y seguiremos siendo un lugar de profunda comunidad, acogida y servicio, esforz\u00e1ndonos por tener un impacto positivo en las vidas de quienes nos rodean: la sal de la comunidad.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southminster Presbyterian Church, a historic African American congregation in the PC(USA) celebrated its 70th anniversary this year.
