The Rev. Al Rodriguez has worked for years to develop ALEO, as an Episcopal Church Fellow and in partnership with Latino/Hispanic Ministries of the Episcopal Church, while serving as interim Director of the Hispanic Church Studies Program at the Seminary of the Southwest. ALEO is an outreach ministry to 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation US-born Latinos, whose acculturation realities are overlooked and unique and who represent a significant prospective population for the Episcopal Church. Rodriguez will use the E-21 grant to develop a prototype set of training products – print, visual and online presentations – for distribution to congregations.
