Notes

Lloyd-Moffett, Setphen R. "The Mysticism and Social Action of Cesar Chavez."
(from "Latino Relgions and Civic Activism in the United States" Espinosa, Elizondo, and Miranda, Ed.)

Considerations ~

  • Should religious communities and leaders make socio-political alliances with each other, and would such an alliance entail a spiritual or “religious” agreement/conformity?
  • Would it be possible to reach the Catholic Hispanic community through a type of organized (protestant? Catholic?) faith, or has (and {perhaps} therefore would) the personal faith of leaders prove more powerful than the doctrines of any institutionalized religion?
  • Catholicism and Protestantism. What to do about similarities and contradictions?
    • Personal Myth/ Mysticism
    • Fasting, prayer, religio-political meetings, and other matters of religious practice…
    • Pilgrimage?
  • Does Protestantism allow for Mysticism?

Phrases~

  • Leadership as a voice of caution that manages not to kill the mysticism of religious experience. (Devoid of doctrine? Check out UU)
