Abstract

This chapter traces the history of LDS Latinas/os, which is marked by moments of consecration, conversion, and coming to voice. Latina/o Saints navigate Mormon doctrine and Mormon culture through multiple reference points. Some find their conservative values supported, while others grow frustrated by the lack of adequate response to larger social justice issues like immigration, gender, and race politics. Some welcome the callings they receive to lead their wards as a way to make positive changes in ethnoreligious understanding, while others prefer to follow and obey the dictates of those in power. Far from a monolith, Latina/o Saints are a conglomerate of various national origins, class, political, and educational circumstances. This chapter emphasizes that whether or not they are genetically connected to the Book of Mormon, the presence of Spanish-speaking Saints from multiple backgrounds continues to grow. This chapter argues that if the population projections are accurate, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints must come to terms with a shift in minority–majority relations.
拉丁/ o / x摩门教徒
这一章追溯了LDS拉丁裔的历史,其标志是奉献,皈依和发声的时刻。拉丁/o圣徒通过多个参考点来引导摩门教教义和摩门教文化。一些人发现他们的保守价值观得到了支持,而另一些人则因为在移民、性别和种族政治等更大的社会正义问题上缺乏足够的回应而感到沮丧。一些人欢迎他们收到的号召,把他们的领导作为一种积极改变民族宗教理解的方式,而另一些人则更喜欢跟随和服从当权者的命令。拉丁裔/非拉丁裔圣徒远非一个整体,而是一个由不同国籍、阶级、政治和教育背景组成的大集团。这一章强调,无论他们是否与摩尔门经有基因上的联系,来自不同背景的说西班牙语的圣徒的存在在不断增加。本章认为,如果人口预测是准确的,耶稣基督后期圣徒教会必须接受少数族裔与多数族裔关系的转变。
