Ekklesia (The Called Out Ones) Part 1: Identity Crisis

There is no doubt that the church in America, including the Latino church and especially in Southern California, has “lost their social location at the center of culture” (Roxburgh). The church is perceived as antiquated and obsolete.  This is especially true when we think about social discussions at the forefront today. The church is no longer seen as a serious contributor to the significant debate in the general population. The church no longer leads that way. The church has lost its identity.
