The Formula for Greatness: Reporting from #GodBelongsInMyCity

2009-11-16T15:02:39-05:00

No budget + high profile hostility
+ lousy weather + despondent adult leaders
+ inspired student leaders + 2 weeks notice
+ a community greatly loved + supportive adults
+ viral technology + a God idea
= one of the most amazing youth ministry experiences of my 23 year youth ministry career.

Best of all, for a veteran youth worker: I had nothing to do with organizing it.

All I had to do was show up, with a faith-filled heart and eyes to watch it happen.

In case you missed the memo (or the 100s of #GodBelongsInMyCity Tweets last week), 1,500 people marched through the streets of Manhattan on Saturday, November 14, from 96th Street in the North to Battery Park in the South, with shirts that proclaimed, “God Belongs in My City.”

“March” is actually a misnomer. There was no hostility or militancy. It was more of a walk with a purpose: to radiate love and affection for God and neighbor, while praying that God would be glorified in our City by lives that love others well.

The catalyst for the day was a dismayed youth pastor who asked some of his student leaders why Christians were publicly silent after atheists launched a citywide ad blitz claiming 1 million New Yorkers reject the existence of God. They responded as only youth can — by launching a movement.

Despite a Noreaster bearing down on the Northeast, with flash floods forecast throughout the day, a 1,500 person Flash Mob showed up at the two rally points at 9 am.

God smiled on them. The sun began to shine, and the rains held for four hours, just long enough to convene on the TKTS steps at Times Square for an impromptu worship service followed by a silent prayer meeting beneath the Zodiac mural in the Main Lobby of venerable Grand Central Station.

In the process, adults like me experienced the awe-inspiring joy that can happen only after we have gotten out of David’s way long enough to watch Goliath topple.

Some of the highlights (a sampling of play-by-play tweets from the day, with links to photos):

A Look at the Latino Population

2009-11-16T10:15:15-05:00

A Look at the Latino Population
Spanish Journal (November 16, 2009)

The U.S. Census Bureau reported that the minority population reached an estimated 104.6 million -- or 34 percent of the nation's total population -- on July 1, 2008, compared to 31 percent when the Census was taken in 2000. Nearly one in six residents, or 46.9 million people, are Hispanic, the agency reported.

Even more telling for the future: 44 percent of children younger than 18 and 47 percent of children younger than the age of five are now from minority families.

The quickly expanding Latino population is having a healthy impact on the economy, according to Ken Gronbach, author of The Age Curve: How to Profit from the Growing Demographic Trend.

"Latinos have saved our country," he said. "They represent 14 percent of the population but 25 percent of the live births. The United States is the only western industrialized nation with a fertility rate above the 2.2 percent replacement rate."

Here, the US Cenus Bureau provides a look at how America is being shaped by Hispanic-Americans, from population and language to popular names and voting trends.

Population 46.9 million

The estimated Hispanic population of the United States as of July 1, 2008, making people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or race minority. Hispanics constituted 15 percent of the nation's total population. In addition, there are approximately 4 million residents of Puerto Rico.

Viral Youth Ministry, Because #GodBelongsinMyCity

2009-11-13T18:24:25-05:00

By Jeremy Del Rio

A couple of weeks ago, Brooklyn youth pastor asked several of his student leaders why New York City atheists could launch a massive subway ad blitz with nary a public peep from local churches when, as he mused, “God belongs in my city.”

Their response to his dismay was a viral blitz online asking area students to mobilize for prayer. They created a website and a Facebook group and a YouTube video, composed and recorded an anthem, designed a simple T-shirt, and began tweeting that “God Belongs in My City.”

Finally, they organized a silent prayer walk throughout Manhattan that will take place this Saturday, November 14. More than 1,000 teens are expected to participate, wearing T-shirts that proclaim “God Belongs in My City,” and blanketing the borough from 96th Street to the Battery. My eight-year-old son and I will be following their lead.

If you cannot join us, please say a prayer for what God is stirring among New York City’s two million young people this weekend.

ESPERANZA REMEMBERS SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY

2009-08-26T16:35:01-04:00

SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY (D-MA)

1932-2009

Senator Edward Kennedy lost his battle to cancer yesterday evening. The Esperanza family expresses our condolences to the loss of one of our national leaders.

At the 2007 National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference, Esperanza presented Senator Kennedy with the Esperanza Leadership Award based on the biblical verse, Joshua 1:9, which states "...be strong and brave. Don't ever be afraid or discouraged!"

Senator Edward M. Kennedy did just that during the past 47 years while representing the state of Massachusetts in the United States Senate. Since his election in 1962, he was re-elected to seven full terms. As a senior member of the Senate, he fought for issues that benefit not only his constituents, but all citizens of our nation. Senator Kennedy was very active on a wide range of issues, including education reform and immigration reform. He defended the rights of workers and their families, and strengthened the civil rights of the voiceless.

"I am saddened to lose a leader that supported faith based programs and for his tireless commitment to comprehensive immigration reform. Through several meetings he worked hard to find a way to get the legislation passed. We will miss his leadership and we pray for the Kennedy family at this time of loss. I hope that time and the wonderful memories of him, will help lessen the burden the sorrow that the family and our nation is feeling." -- The Reverend Luis Cortes, Jr., President of Esperanza

Rev. Luis Cortés, Jr. is president of Esperanza, the largest Hispanic faith-based network in the country. With a national network of 12,000 faith and community-based agencies, Esperanza is one of the leading voices for Hispanics in America.

140,000 Participate in Historic Faith Call with President Obama Sponsored by the Latino Leadership Circle and other Religious Organizations

2009-08-20T10:35:23-04:00

Statement from Faith in Public Life, PICO National Network, Sojourners and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good

Washington, DC - An estimated 140,000 people of faith gathered on a historic national conference call with President Barack Obama and the American faith community. Sponsored by more than thirty religious denominations and organizations that cut across race and religious tradition, the call helped launch a massive “40 Days for Health Reform” campaign to mobilize people of faith to press Congress to finish work on health care reform when they return after Labor Day Recess.

President Obama and his Domestic Policy Director Melody Barnes spoke directly to the most pressing issues on the minds of people of faith. By addressing the moral dimension of the health care debate, they recognized the important role of the faith community in finally achieving health care reform.

At every moment in American history when a movement was needed to solve a great challenge facing the nation, people of faith have led. This moment is no different. Today’s call lifted up the inspiring efforts of tens of thousands of people of faith across the United States to promote a civil dialogue and ensure Congress passes legislation in 2009 that makes quality health care affordable for all American families. The call put the focus of the health care debate where it should be - on the needs and voice of American families working to keep their loved ones healthy and their communities strong.

A recording of the call is available at www.faithforhealth.org or www.blogtalkradio.com/40mins4health, which live-streamed the call.

More information about the 40 Day Campaign for Health Care Reform is available at www.faithforhealth.org, including the call co-sponsors.

For Puerto Ricans, Sotomayor’s Success Stirs Pride

2009-08-07T08:53:50-04:00

Half a century later, the long and sometimes bittersweet history of Puerto Ricans in New York added a celebratory chapter on Thursday as the Senate confirmed Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Her personal journey — from a single-parent home in the Bronx projects to the Ivy League and an impressive legal career — has provoked a fierce pride in many other Puerto Ricans who glimpse reflections of their own struggles.

For full NY Times article click on link below:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/07/nyregion/07puerto.html

Congratulations Judge Sonia Sotomayor !

2009-08-06T23:59:37-04:00

Latino Leadership Circle congratulates Judge Sonia Sotomayor on her appointment as Supreme Court Judge. Sotomayor, a 55-year-old federal appeals court judge, will be the 111th person to sit on the high court and the third female justice. Sotomayor is the nation's first Hispanic Supreme Court justice.

Judge Sotomayor's rise from humble beginnings is an inspiring story. Her parents immigrated to New York from Puerto Rico during World War II. Her father worked in a factory to support the family. She was born in the Bronx and grew up in a housing project. Her father died when she was 9, leaving her mother to juggle two jobs and borrow money to get her nursing degree and support Sonia and her brother Juan.

Sotomayor later graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University and went on to attend Yale Law School, where she was editor of the Yale Law Journal.

She worked at nearly every level of the judicial system over a three-decade career before being chosen by President Obama to replace retiring Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court.

Felicidades Sonia. Estamos muy orgullosos de ti!
