The interactive session focused on introducing “spirituality” as both Christian experience and formation. The presenter will then turn our attention to some of the more central issues to understanding U.S. Latin@ spiritualities: Jesús en la Cruz (Jesus on the Cross), María en la luz (Mary in the light), and el Cotidiano as locus theologicus (the Cotidiano as God's location)
